The Penn State - Behrend men's
basketball team finished up a solid
week by defeating AMCC conference
foe Frostburg State by a score of 76-
59. The win broke a three game los
ing streak for the Lions, moving their
overall record to 7-5, and a 1-1 mark
in the AMCC.
The Lions, forced to play without
starters Andy Lawrence(ankle injury)
and John Park(family death), threw
together a 17-4 run in the last five
minutes of the first half to change a
two-point deficit (22-20) into an I 1
point advantage at intermission.
Frostburg State had rallied to within
five points of the Lions with four min
utes remaining in the game, before
Behrend pulled away with a 20-8
explosion to finally pull away.
Frostburg fell to 5-6 on the year,
while moving their AMCC mark to
0-2.
The Lions ended up shooting 50
percent from the field (26-52), with

Freshman Ashley Orris, junior
Brian Emick, and junior Jason
Paloskey each finished the game with
12 points apiece.

the Lions was the team's pressure
defense, which limited Frostburg to
only 37 percent from the floor with

Frostburg 76-59
"We really didn't know what to
expect from the kids tonight," said
Niland. "We were in a little bit of dis
array because of the situation of Jack
Park passing away (Sunday).
"He (John Park's father) was very
close to the program here at Behrend.
They live only a short distance away
from the campus and the kids were
there a lot. We were also without John,
who is one of our fiery leaders on the
floor.
"So, I didn't know how we would
come out emotionally for this game.
You never do know with guys who
are 18 and 19. So , I didn't know how
we would respond."
"We knew," added Niland, "that
Frostburg was going to come out and
pressure us and get into us.
"So, we knew we would have to
protect the ball, and we did that , most
of the night.
"We also knew we had to try and
get real good shots, and we did that,
most of the night (the 50 percent fig
ure proves that).
"We did have a couple of turnovers

The only setback the Lions suffered
during the week was a 65 - 54 set
back in an independent contest to
Waynesburg.
The Lions got off to a very slow
start in the first half trailing 45- 24 at
the break. Behrend came out strong
in the second half outscoring
Waynesburg by a score of 30 - 20,
however it wasn't enough as the Li
ons lost their third straight game.
Junior Jason Paloskey led the scor
ing attack with 14 points. Brock
Bovaird also highly contributed with
13 points, 3 assists, and 2 steals. Brian
Emick and John Park each had 8
points and 3 rebounds, while Steve
Hout chipped in with 4 points and led
the rebounding with 6 boards.
The Behrend ballers will next be in
action at home with SUNY -Fredonia
on the 22nd of January, at 7:30 p.m.
