With the annual Thanksgiving break looming, the Penn State New Kensington men’s basketball and wrestling teams hit the road this week for a pair of contests.
Basketball visits St. Vincent College at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18 for a nonconference game, and wrestling heads to Penn State DuBois at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19, for a conference dual match with Penn College and DuBois.
Basketball opened its Penn State University Athletic Conference schedule at home Nov. 12 with 125-55 victory over Penn State Lehigh Valley. The New Kensington Lions, 2-1 overall and 1-0 in the PSUAC, topped University of Pittsburgh-Titusville, 76-60, in the season opener and fell to Mt. Aloysius College, 131-72, in a nonconference match against an NCAA-III school. Sophomore guard Anthony Brown had a double-double, 13 points and 11 rebounds, against the Mounties. Second-year coach Doug Schneider’s high-octane offense is averaging 91 points per game.
