Mike Muscala scored 14 points and Bucknell broke open a close game with a 19-0 run surrounding halftime in a 69-52 victory over West Alabama in men's college basketball Sunday.
Penn State (2-2) battled for one half without leading scorer Tim Frazier but couldn't sustain its offense without the do-everything guard and fell 85-60 to Akron in their final contest of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off.
With Frazier out, sophomore guard D.J. Newbill handled the point-guard duties for much of the game and posted a career high 20 points to go with six rebounds, five assists and two steals in the 6-4 guard's best game since his return to the floor after sitting out last season.
Six Lycoming women's basketball players combined for 33 points off the bench, but Moravian rallied from a two-point halftime deficit to take a 71-60 decision in the final round of the women's basketball Terry Greene Memorial Classic.
The ninth-ranked Penn State Lady Lions (3-0) used a balanced offensive attack and runs of 20-0, 14-0 and 9-0 to earn a 75-34 victory over Lafayette Sunday afternoon at the Bryce Jordan Center.
Penn State's Bryan Pearsall beat No. 19 Nathan Pennesi at 141 pounds as Penn State beat West Virginia, 44-3, in college wrestling.
