Men's basketball team continues
to roll, winning seventh straight
Wins improve overall record to 13-5, while moving AMCC record to 5-1
by Dylan Stewart
sports editor
The Penn State - Behrend men's
basketball team continued its winning
ways this past week, as they took down
both Lake Erie and Elmira within
twenty-four hours of one another, to
extend their winning streak to an im
pressive seven in a row.
The wins move the Lions overall
record to 13 -5, while upping their
AMCC record to 5 - 1.
A balanced team attack has seemed
to be one of the big keys for the Lions
as of late, as a different player has been
stepping up big in each of the Lions
recent victories.
"We have been getting a lot of solid
play from different people every single
night," said head basketball coach
Dave Niland. "I've been real happy
with our group of guys. They play very
well together, up-tempo, and I think
that they are a fun team to watch. Not
to mention, they are a good group of
guys to be around, as well as a good
group of students. The only thing our
team can control and focus on at this
point in our season, is putting our
selves in good position for an AMCC
championship. We can't concern our
selves right now of anything that hap
pens from that point on. We just need
