Behrend Tournament
4ophomore Jared Clough contributes a team high six rebounds against Notre Dame in the champions'
of the Behrend Tournament. This is CloUgh's first year on the team.
He scored 13 points and snagged a team- leading seven boards against
Hilbert in the first game of the tournament in only 16 minutes of play.

championship round of the Behrend Tournament. Next up for the Lions is
big rival Pitt-Bradford at 6 p.m. Saturday.

The men's basketball team is off to a
promising start. They began the season
quickly jumping out to a 2-0 record with
two straight victories at home in their
own tournament. They then went on to
visit Grove City over the Thanksgiving
break where, last season, they defeated
the Wolverines in a close game, 56-53.
This time they were not as fortunate.
The Lions lost the game 82-58, falling
to a 2-1 record.
When asked about the loss, Dave
Hairston said, "This year at Grove City
we just didn't have the intensity on the
boards and the defensive end that we
needed. They're a tough team, very
similar to us, but we came out a little flat
and didn't play the type of ball we're used
to playing."
Another early bright point is the lions
are already getting some time and
contributions from some of their
freshmen. This is something they will
need if they wish to compete with the
other teams in the league and have a
successful season.
Behrend had hoped that they could
continue to get help from
