Men's Basketball Completes Sweep over Penn State-Behrend Lions

Men's Basketball Completes Sweep over Penn State-Behrend Lions

ERIE, PA - La Roche men's basketball completed a regular season sweep over the Penn State-Behrend Lions this evening with a final score of 72-65. 

Michael Brooks led the team on offense shooting 5-for-10 from the floor. Brooks also contributed 2 assists. 

The Redhawks' 7-point victory was not easily won. The teams were tied 22-22 going into the locker room at halftime, but La Roche never let them take the lead; the contest only saw 2 ties, and no lead changes. 

Where La Roche really capitalized was taking advantage of the Lions' turnovers; 15 points were earned from these turnovers alone. 

Jordan Grayson and Devon Darrell followed Brooks' lead, and each netted 14 points. Darrell snagged 6 boards and 3 assists. Grayson also earned 3 rebounds. 

Joe Pipilo continued to be the backbone of the team. He went 3-for-4 from the three-point line, earning 11 points. He also contributed 5 rebounds and 1 steal. 

Men's basketball will be back at home this Wednesday to take on Mount Aloysius at home; tipoff is scheduled for 7 PM.
