Box Score

SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. - Redshirt senior forward Daziah Miller led all Red Raider scorers with 24 points on Monday night from Heiges Field House but an overtime rally proved to be too much to overcome for the Shippensburg men's basketball team as visiting Goldey-Beacom earned an 89-80 victory.

Shippensburg (4-1) and Goldey-Beacom (1-1) engaged in a seesaw battle throughout the second half, with the squads combining for 12 lead changes and nine ties in the contest.

After working the clock, freshman guard Lamar Jackson made a move and converted a layup that gave SU a 72-70 lead with six seconds to play.

He hit several tough shots with defenders in his face and jump-started a Lightning offense that saw four players post double figures.
