(California, Pa.) - The Bald Eagle men’s basketball team fell, 63-60, to top-seeded California (Pa.) University (24-7) in the first round of the PSAC Tournament in a down-to-the-wire ball game at California’s Hamer Hall this evening.  Entering the tournament as the fourth seed in the Western Division, The Haven out-shot and out-rebounded the Vulcans, but California hit 23-of-28 free throws, including a pair with two seconds left by Ryan Stefanski, to capture the win.
            A physical and intense game from the opening tip, neither team was able to stretch out a sizeable lead in the first half which saw one tie and two lead changes.  The largest advantage went to California with a six-point lead with just under five minutes remaining, but LHU clawed its way back to within one point, 30-29, with less than a minute left off a put-back by Quentin Terry (Leola/Central York). A short jumper by Cal’s Ishmieal Kamara on the next trip down the floor pushed the home team’s cushion back to three tallies, 32-29, by the intermission.
            The Vulcans came out of half-time firing, taking a six-point lead, but the see-saw battle continued as LHU answered with a string of three consecutive three-pointers compliments of Eddie Christiano (Coal Township/Lourdes Regional) and Jonathan Ogden (Williamsport/Penn College) to bring the game to the first of four second-half ties.  Within the five-minute mark, a long-range field goal by Ryan Stefanski put the Vulcans ahead by four, 59-55, and two freebies by Stefanski on the consecutive series matched Cal’s largest lead of the game at six.  A jumper by Christopher Ruff (Halifax/Halifax) and a trey from Jeromy Yetter (Lewistown/Indian Valley) with 1:45 remaining sliced the deficit back to one point.
            Two missed free throws by the Vulcans’ Tom Frederick kept The Haven within striking distance, 61-60, and with 17 seconds remaining a California turnover gave the ball back to LHU to try for the win.  The Bald Eagles got the ball to Holtzer, who drove into the lane and put up the shot in traffic. Despite the effort, no foul was called and LHU was forced to foul on the rebound to stop the clock.  Stefanski drained both freebies with 2.2 seconds remaining, and the Haven’s last second attempt went unsuccessful to send the Bald Eagles home on the low end of the 63-60 margin.
            Holtzer paced LHU with 13 points, while both Kevin DeVan (Harrisburg/Susquehanna Township) and Ruff added eight points apiece.  DeVan led LHU with nine rebounds.

Another trey, this time from Kevin DeVan (Harrisburg/Susquehanna Township), gave the Bald Eagles their only lead of the game at 1:45, 53-50, and two made free throws by Holtzer with two seconds remaining sealed the come-from-behind victory for LHU.

      A game of large runs, LHU had gone into intermission with a nine-point, 40-31, advantage after jumping out into the lead in the final six minutes of the half. Clarion dragged the margin back down to one point in the opening minutes of the second stanza, but LHU again stretched out the advantage to 12 points, this time with just under 10 minutes remaining. The Golden Eagles chipped away again, and with three minutes to go, tied up the score at 66-66.    
     Clarion's Rollie Smith hit a jumper and was fouled with a minute left, but the extra point did not fall and LHU's Christopher Ruff (Halifax/Halifax) answered with a bucket in the paint off a dish from Holtzer to make it 68-68.  With six seconds remaining, the ball was back in the Bald Eagles' possession after a defensive stop, and this time Ruff fed Holtzer, who drained the short jumper to boost LHU out in front, 70-68.  With only 1.2 seconds remaining on the clock, Clarion's efforts fell short and The Haven went on to take the divisional victory.
      Holtzer led LHU with 25 points along with 13 rebounds.  Ruff had a big game on the blocks, connecting for 19 points and 11 boards. Kevin DeVan (Harrisburg/Susquehanna Township) totaled eight points and three assists, and Eddie Christiano (Coal Township/Lourdes Regional) added seven tallies.

     The Haven owned a four-point lead at intermission, and stretched it out to 10 points on a quick run to open the second stanza.  Shippensburg hung around, however, slicing the lead back down to as small as three points with 2:40 remaining.  A Shippensburg technical foul gave the momentum back to the Bald Eagles, however, as Kevin DeVan (Harrisburg/Susquehanna Township) hit both freebies to boost the lead back up to five.  A pair of short jumpers from Jonathan Ogden (Williamsport/Penn College) on consecutive trips down the floor helped the advantage up to nine points with just under two minutes to go.

(Lock Haven, Pa.) - The difference between the first and second halves was as different as night and day for the Bald Eagles (7-16, 3-6 PSAC West), but unfortunately the result was the same as California (Pa.) University (20-7, 7-2 PSAC West) defeated Lock Haven 60-58 in Thomas Fieldhouse this evening.
      The Bald Eagles got off to a slow start, shooting only 17-percent, but were still in the game by half, down 27-16 after a low-scoring first period.  In the second stanza, California built on their half-time advantage to go ahead by as much as 20 points with 15 minutes remaining.  Slowly, Lock Haven chipped away at that lead and had it down to 10 points with just five minutes left.  A three-pointer by Eddie Christiano (Coal Township/Lourdes Regional) at the four-minute mark dropped the deficit into single-digits for LHU, down by just seven.  Another trey, this time by Jonathan Ogden (Williamsport/Penn College) with just over a minute remaining, sliced the lead to three.  A missed shot and a turnover on the opposite end put the ball back into LHU's possession with 38 seconds left in the game.  
       A California foul with eight ticks to go sent Kevin DeVan (Harrisburg/Susquehanna Township) to the line, and after two made buckets, the lead was down to one, 59-58.  LHU fouled before the ball was inbounded, and the Vulcans' Gerrmar Ballard hit one of two.  Ogden snared the carom from the missed shot and sent it down court. With just three seconds to go after a timeout, the final shot would not fall for the Bald Eagles and they closed out the game on the low end of the 60-58 score. 
     Kristopher Holtzer (Matamoras/Delaware Valley) paced The Haven with 21 points, while DeVan added 13 points and seven boards.  Ogden contributed 11 points including three long-range shots along with six rebounds.

(Lock Haven, Pa.) - The Bald Eagle cagers (7-12, 3-3 PSAC West) edged out Pitt-Johnstown (8-12) in a 78-77 nail-biter in non-conference action this evening in Thomas Fieldhouse. Jonathan Ogden (Williamsport/Penn College) poured in 21 second-half points to spark the come back and lead the Haven to the victory.
     Down by five points after the first period, the Bald Eagles slowly chipped away at the Mountain Cat advantage and whittled it all the way down to a tied game at 48-48 with 12:39 remaining. Pitt-Johnstown hurried back onto the offensive, bouncing back into an eight-point lead with just under nine minutes remaining.  In a matter of two minutes, however, lead changed sides as the Bald Eagles put up nine points and gained the momentum. Tied at 70-70 with 3:16 left in the game, LHU's Kristopher Holtzer (Matamoras/Delaware Valley) and Ogden hit back-to-back three-pointers to provide a five-point cushion. The Mountain Cats hung around though, and playing off a hot shooting hand from Eugene Wilson (31 pts.), squeezed themselves right back into the game. 
       In the final minute with LHU in the lead, 78-76, UPJ's Wilson was fouled and made one-of-two at the free throw line. A scramble after the missed second shot gave the ball back to UPJ, who inbounded but could not get the shot to fall. LHU's Joe Walker (Lock Haven/Central Mountain) was able to get a hand on the rebound, swatting the ball away from danger and down court to secure the slim victory for the Bald Eagles.

(Lock Haven, Pa.) - The Bald Eagle cagers (5-12, 2-3 PSAC West) saw a 10-point halftime lead disappear as Clarion University (15-4, 4-0 PSAC West) executed the come-from-behind 63-60 win in Thomas Fieldhouse to remain perfect in the conference's Western Division.  The first portion of the second half saw the Haven with a comfortable 15-point lead, but a see-saw battle soon erupted as the Golden Eagles fought their way back into the game. Of the seven lead changes in the second stanza, five occurred in the final three minutes.  A layup by Christopher Ruff (Halifax/Halifax) with 22 seconds remaining put The Haven up by one point, 60-59, but Clarion's Rollie Smith slid along the baseline and into the paint for the short jumper with 11 seconds left to toss CU back into the lead, 61-60.

        The game was tight throughout most of the first half, but an eight-point run in the closing 2:27 squeezed the Bald Eagles out to the game's most sizeable lead up to that point.  LHU never relinquished that lead in the second half as it took the 66-55 win.
        In addition to Bailey's production, Kevin DeVan (Harrisburg/Susquehanna Township) contributed 15 points and nine rebounds.  Eddie Christiano (Coal Township/Lourdes Regional) added 14 points including four three-pointers along with four assists.  
     Lock Haven next travels to Mansfield University on December 6 for a 7:30 p.m. matchup.
