Junior Isaiah Valentine posted 20 points and seven rebounds to lead three Lycoming College men’s basketball players in double figures as the team fell to Susquehanna University, 90-65, in Landmark Conference action on Wednesday.

Valentine, who reached 20 points for the fourth time this year and moved within six points of 750 in his career, canned four 3-pointers and hit 8-of-13 from the floor for the Warriors (2-12 overall, 1-6 Landmark). Sophomore Connor Shanahan finished with 15 points, five rebounds, five assists and two steals and Central mountain graduate and sophomore Hayden Pardoe notched 11 points and a block.

Senior Ivan Komitski added eight points and two assists and first-year Princeton Layton added seven points and two rebounds.

The River Hawks (7-7 overall, 4-3 Landmark) used a 17-3 run to lead 27-9 with 14:48 left before the Warriors used a 10-3 run to cut that lead to 30-19 after a 3-pointer in transition from Shanahan. Susquehanna got the lead back to 16 at 43-27 by the break and extended that lead to 22 in the first couple minutes of the second half.

The Warriors fought back with an 11-2 run to make it an 11-point game after a Valentine trey with 14:48 left and were still within 11 halfway through the half, but the River Hawks didn’t let the Warriors any closer, getting their lead to 27 with 1:15 left in the game before senior Bernard Rogers hit a jumper to close out the scoring.

Lifted by a 50 percent effort from long range in the second half (7 of 14), the Warriors shot 40% (25 of 63) from the field in the game.

Brandon Lavitt led the River Hawks with 19 points and six rebounds, Billy Anderson added 16 points and six rebounds and Cooper Haberern added 10 points. Susquehanna shot 59% from the field (37-of-63) from the field, scoring 56 points in the paint.
