E-Town Snaps Men's Basketball Win Streak

Elizabethtown, Pa. - Host Elizabethtown College snapped Marywood University men's basketball win streak at three games as the Bluejays picked up a 78-69 non-conference win over the Pacers Monday evening.

Marywood (5-5) got a game-high 29 point effort from Jason Holman. Mason Mendygral added 12 points but was the only other Pacer to reach double-digits in the loss.

The Pacers were held to 38.5% shooting on the night while E-town hit 53.8% of their efforts. The Blue Jays' bench outscored that of Marywood 31-18 and the hosts out-rebounded Marywood 39-26.

Marywood would not hold a lead in the game. Trailing by as many as 12 several times in the first half, Marywood closed the gap in the final minutes of the opening stanza. Down 29-17, Holman scored nine consecutive points to cut the Pacers' deficit to just three with 1:48 to go in the half. E-town responded with four straight points to take a 33-26 lead into the locker room.

Marywood cut the Elizabethtown lead to four several times in the second half only to have the hosts respond and stretch their lead again. Adam Boussatta's layup with just under 10 to play got Marywood to within two (49-47), but back-to-back three's from the Blue Jays ended the Marywood threat. 

The Pacers will travel to Naples, Florida next week and open a two-game neutral site road trip in the Sunshine state. They open the trip against Berry College (Ga.) on December 19.
