Lions remain undefeated in AMCC
by Matt Buser

The Behrend men's basketball
team reached the halfway point of
Allegheny Mountain Collegiate
Conference (AMCC) play last night,
beating Lake Erie College 84-61.
The win in Erie Hall gave the men a
perfect 6-0 conference record, and
improved their overall record to 15-
2.
Behrend used advantages in size
and numbers to turn away Lake Erie,
who dressed only seven players, only
one of which was taller than
Lake Erie scored the first two
baskets of the game, and led 5-0 at
the 17:44 mark in the first half.
Behrend responded by scoring the
next 17 points of the game, including
a pair of guard Matt Keith three
pointers, and had a comfortable 17-
5 lead with 11:45 to play. Keith
finished the night with 12 points,
making four of ten three-point
attempts, and also had four assists.
Lake Erie refused to hack down,
and the two teams exchanged baskets
for the remainder of the half, with
Behrend holding a 36-25 lead going
into the locker room.
"Lake Erie, although they were
down in numbers, always plays us
very tough," said Behrend Head
Coach Dave Niland.
Behrend turned it up a notch to
start the second half, however,
starting with an 11-4 run to open up
a 49-29 lead with 16:43 to play.
Center Chris Hughes scored 6 points
during the run
"We wanted to conic out and not
give them any chance to come hack,"
Behrend
13-5;
Hughes said.
Hughes finished
the night with a
team-high 23
points, and also
grabbed four
rebounds.
Behrend shot
63% (19-30 from
the floor),
including 45% (5-
11) three-pointers,
in the second half,
putting to rest any
hopes Lake Erie
had for a
comeback
Forwards Andy
Lawrence and
Nate Willson
scored 14 points
each, and grabbed
ten and five
rebounds
respectively.
Forward John Park
contributed seven
points and nine
rebounds.
The Behrend
men have seven
games left on the
schedule, six of
which are against
AMCC opponents.
Five of these last
seven games are
also on the road.
"That will certainly he a tough
stretch over the next month," Coach
Niland commented. "We've got to he
healthy, we've got to he focused on
what we're doing, because it's not
going to he easy with only two home
improves record to
now 6-0
