\”Friday night was a disappointing game due to our lack of composure, lack of defensive intensity and poor foul shooting. These were areas that we have been struggling with even in our wins, but they were magnified on the road. It is
difficult to win away from home if you only shoot 50% from the foul line. I was proud of the way we bounced back on Saturday and focused on our defensive intensity and composure. We still struggled from the foul line, but our
defense made up for those missed opportunities.\”
Penn State DuBois is now 5-3 overall and 2-1 in the PSUAC. Penn State DuBois will play a non-conference game on Tuesday at Jamestown Community College. PSU DuBois Men will then return home for two exciting conference games on Friday vs. Scranton (7:30 pm) and Saturday against defending PSUAC Champion, Abington
