Riding atop a six-game
winning streak, the Lions (12-10)
have a shot at the Eastern
College Athletic Conference
playoffs.
“At this point, there’s a
chance, we just need to keep
winning,” said an optimistic
Coach Niland.
Assistant Coach Karl Jelinek
agreed with Niland,
“It’s a little early, but if we
take it one game at a time and do
the things we've done that have
worked for us, we’ll have a good
chance,”he said
This past Saturday the Lions
entertained the Keuka Warriors.
Behind the 25-point effort by
Brandon George, the Lions
prevailed by a final score of 70-
56.
“We played terrific defense in
the second half and held (Keuka)
to 31 percent shooting,” said
Niland
Ron Derian followed George
with 16 points, three assists, and
five rebounds, and Steve Berger
finished the evening with 11
markers and 8 boards.
Desmond Hannon continued
his domination of the glass by
grabbing 13 rebounds, along with
six points.
Behrend took advantage of
some hot shooting 47 percent
from the floor, 53 percent from
three-point range, and 73 percent
from the free throw line.
Monday evening, the Bethany
Bison made their four-hour tour
to Erie, only to find Behrend to
be rude hosts. The Lions handed
Bethany a 79-72 loss.
Once again, George led the
charge with 20 points. Todd
Sturgin and Berger each finished
with 16 points, while Berger
grabbed a team-high seven
rebounds, and Derian notched 14
points.
Freshman guard Jamie Okonak,
who was earlier named ECAC
Rookie of the Week, had four
points and seven assists in 36

minutes of play at the guard
position.
“It’s a game we were fortunate
to win,” said Niland. “There is
good chemistry between the
players. They know their roles
and are becoming comfortable
with their accepted roles.”
While four of the nine Lions
entered the scoring column with
double figures, there were only
two double figure scorers for
Bethany.
One of them, sophomore
sensation Kevin Kozup, scored
39 points, shooting 9 of 14 from
downtown.
“Defensively, I’m not happy.
But give (Kozup) credit, he took
terrific shots,” said Niland about
the one man shooting show.

Several of Niland’s Netters
played defense on Kozup, but all
who tried had similar results.
“We needed to always have
someone on him, and to have
someone in his face,” said
Niland.
Next on the agenda for the
Lions are the Hilbert Hawks.
Coach Niland knows this game,
like most, won’t be easy.
“Hilbert has a good program.
They have the best Division HI
player in Kareem Allen, possibly
an All-American. He will be
extremely tough,” said Niland.
The Lions will put their six
game winning streak on the line
Saturday, with a 7:30 p.m.
tipoff. The game can also be
heard on WPSE Radio.
