half-time, before being outscored 42-

Speaking of getting healthy, the
Lions have been playing without
leading scorer Andy Lawrence, who
was averaging 15.6 points a game,
wi'ile also pulling down 6,2
rebounds. Lawrence, who is out with
a bum ankle, is expected to be back
in the lineup sometime in the near
future.
"It hurts not having Andy for
games like this," added junior point

The biggest problem of the game
for the Lions seemed to be guarding
Pitt-Bradford's Pat Culliman, who
bagged 6 of 9 three-pointers, to finish
with a game high 22 points.
Leading the Behrend scoring
attack was Brian Emick, who
finished with 16 points, 7 rebounds,
