  • Meanwhile, Quintyn Flemister (Harrisburg, Pa. / Harrisburg) played with high effort and scored 12 points to go along with seven rebounds.

  • PSUMA shot 54.9 percent from the field. PSU DuBois was led in scoring by Dylan Huey who netted 14.

How it Happened

  • PSUMA went up 29-18 after a Roper 3-pointer at the 9:28 mark. The Lions offensive attack continued to flow and forced DuBois into a timeout after a fast break layup from Terrell Campbell (Germantown, Md. / St. John's College Prep). Mont Alto was up 39-24 with 6:39 remaining in the half.
  • A mini DuBois run forced a Coach Schenzel time out, but they still maintained a 48-35 lead with less than two minutes and took a 57-36 lead into the halftime break.
  • Mont Alto came out on fire from downtown and went up 68-41 after a Holston fast break trey.
  • An old fashioned 3-point play that was converted by John Teague (Hagerstown, Md. / North Hagerstown) put his team up 87-57. They coasted down the stretch for their 10-straight win.

Penn State Mont Alto (19-6, 16-3) will host a PSUAC Quarterfinals matchup on Tuesday, Feb. 19 with their opponent to be determined after the results of Saturday's games around the conference. Game time is set for 7 p.m. from the MAC.
