Buffalo State, the second
ranked team in the nation,
traveled to play Behrend on
Monday. The final score of the
contest was 88-69 in the Bcngals

Behrend kept it close in the
first half on the strength of
freshman forward Steve Cooper's
soft inside touch, who ended the
half with 14 points. The Lions
trailed at the half, 39-30.
Poor shooting (one hit in 16
three-point attempts), turnovers
(first seven possessions in second
half: seven throwaways, no
points), and Rick Dcmski's foul
trouble (four in six minutes)
hampered Behrend in their
attempts to get back in the game.
Cooper finished with 16
points, with Demski adding 14
and Baughman 10. As a team,
Bchrend shot 43 percent from the
field.
