Led by 23 points from junior guard Connor Shanahan (Chester Springs, Pa./Downingtown East) and three other double-digit scoring efforts, the Lycoming College men’s basketball team fought with second-place Drew University all game, but Drew used a late surge to pull away for a 107-93 Landmark Conference win on Saturday at Lamade Gymnasium.

Shanahan poured in 23 points, including three 3‒pointers, while adding three assists. Junior Hayden Pardoe, a Central Mountain graduate, delivered a double‒double with 18 points and 10 rebounds on 7 of 11 shooting. Senior guard Isaiah Valentine added 17 points, eight rebounds and four assists while freshman guard Noa’Sosa Friedman provided 19 points, six rebounds and five assists.

Freshman forward Charlie Sims added six points on two first‒half 3‒pointers, and sophomore guard Princeton Layton posted five points, two blocks and a steal. Sophomore Noah Mathis added three points, two rebounds and two blocks.

Drew (15-4 overall, 9-3 Landmark) opened the game with back‒to‒back 3‒pointers as part of a 15-2 run, but Lycoming responded with a 24-11 push highlighted by transition baskets from Pardoe and Friedman and consecutive threes from Sims to pull within before Valentine tied the game at 26 with a layup on an old-fashioned 3-point play, converting the play for the team’s first lead.

Lycoming (5-14 overall, 1-11 Landmark) continued to push, going ahead by eight off a layup from Layton with 1:09 left before heading to the break ahead 48-41. The Warriors shot 16 of 28 from the field in the half, including seven 3‒pointers.

The second half featured six ties and 11 lead changes as both offenses continued to trade blows. Friedman scored in the paint and Valentine scored off a turnover to help Lycoming build a 66-61 lead with 12:41 left.

The Rangers’ David Musial finished with 30 points, 14 rebounds, eight assists and four steals, and Andre De Los Reyes added 23 points with four 3‒pointers. Drew hit sixteen 3‒pointers and went 27-of-30 from the stripe.
