Harris nets 23, but Mounties fall to Behrend

CRESSON, Pa. -- The crowd was treated to one acrobatic layup after another by guard Mike Harris (Hampton, Va., Peninsula Catholic), who finished with a team-high 23 points, but Mount Aloysius was defeated by visiting Penn State Behrend 80-65 Saturday afternoon. 

Leaders
- Harris scored a season-high 23 points, including 7-of-9 from the free throw line.
- Imil Britt (Johnstown, PA, Greater Johnstown) was also in double figures with 15 points.
- Wesley Ayers (Independence, VA, Grayson County) added nine points and six rebounds, and Rafael Ibáñez Medina (Mexico City, Mexico, Canarias Basketball Academy) contributed eight points.

How It Happened
- Both teams played strong defense at the beginning of the game with the score tied at just five after the first five minutes. After each team traded three-pointers, the Mounties went on a 7-0 run to give them a 15-8 margin.
- Behrend responded with 11 unanswered points to give them the lead, 19-15. Harris then got on a roll, scoring seven points, allowing the Mounties to regain the advantage, 22-19.
- The lead changed hands a couple times before Penn State Behrend earned a slight edge that they stretched to as much as five points at the one-minute mark. But Ayers closed the half with a jumper, so the Mounties finished the half down 36-33.
- Behrend opened the second half with a 9-2 run to increase their lead to double figures, 45-35. The Mounties responded with a jumper and free throw by Britt, limiting the difference to just seven points.
- However, Behrend quickly recovered and saw their lead again grow to double figures. Behrend maintained this advantage for the rest of the game with the Mounties unable to make a final push and ultimately falling 80-65.

Into the Box Score
- The Mounties held Penn State Behrend to just 26.7 percent from behind-the-arc.
- The score was tied nine times and the lead changed five times.

Up Next
- Mount Aloysius will make the short trip to play AMCC opponent Penn State Altoona Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. The Mounties look to split the season series after Penn State Altoona won their first meeting in a thriller, 84-81.
