Phoenix Upended By Nittany Lions

MIDDLETOWN, Pa.- The Wilson College men's basketball team traveled to the campus of Penn State Harrisburg this afternoon for a nonconference game. The Phoenix (3-9, 1-1 CSAC) were defeated by the Nittany Lions (8-1, 0-0 CAC) by a final score of 90-82. 

How It Happened: Wilson would jump out to an early 8-3 lead thanks with points coming from junior Rashaan Bean (San Antonio, Texas, Forest Park) and freshman Adrian Thomas (Germantown, Md., Northwest HS). The Phoenix would spend the next five minutes on a 14-7 run that would push their lead to 22-10 with nine minutes left. The Nittany Lions would start to heat up as they would hit four shots from beyond the arc in a little over five minutes, the Phoenix offense would answer back though as senior Keion Adams (Gaithersburg, Md., Seneca Valley), senior Ian Frazier (Palmyra, Pa., Palmyra), and Bean were all able to knock down three's that would keep Wilson ahead. Penn State Harrisburg would close out the half on a 10-5 run that help cut their deficit to just 4 points. Wilson would lead going into halftime, 42-38.

There were several attempts at making a run, but the Phoenix just could not shake their opponents, their largest lead was 8 in the half. With a little less than four minutes remaining, Penn State Harrisburg was able to even things up at 78 a piece.
