Box Score

Sophomore Reggie Charles scored a career-high 34 points – the most in a single game for a Raider in nearly six years – but the Shippensburg University men's basketball team dropped an overtime contest at Lock Haven on Sunday afternoon, 94-87 from Thomas Fieldhouse, in the second of two weekend PSAC road crossover contests.

Charles set career highs in both field goals made and attempted, going 11-of-19 from the field while contributing seven rebounds and three assists. His scoring effort is the most in a single game since Chuck Davis scored 37 points for Shippensburg (2-3, 0-2 PSAC) in a loss at West Chester on Jan. 6, 2007.

Freshman Joe Lococo went 9-of-10 from the free-throw line and scored 12 points to go along with six rebounds. Freshman Tony Ellis collected a team-high 10 boards.

Junior Dylan Edgar netted 10 points with seven rebounds while freshman Jay Hardy also scored 10 points and collected five rebounds off the bench.

The Bald Eagles (3-2, 1-1 PSAC) were paced by Wali Hepburn, whose game-high 40 points tied for the fourth-most points in a single game in Lock Haven history.

Shippensburg led for the majority of the first half, including a game-high 12-point advantage, up 28-16, with 5:55 remaining before the break. Lock Haven finished the half on a 13-7 run to cut the deficit to 35-29.

The Raiders remained in control and maintained their lead for a large portion of the second half, leading by nine with six minutes to go and eight with four minutes left. A 6-0 LHU run at that point cut the SU lead to 70-68 with 2:33 on the clock, but a layup from sophomore Sam Pygatt and a Lococo free throw pushed the lead back to five with 1:09 remaining.

Hepburn connected on an and-1 play on the next Bald Eagle possession before a Nate Walters steal and a Terrell Johnson layup tied the game at 73-73 with 22 seconds on the clock. Redshirt-freshman Tyhiem Perrin – who had seven points and five rebounds on the day – missed a jumper at the buzzer that sent the game into overtime.

Lock Haven scored eight quick points just a minute-and-a-half into the extra session before eventually pushing its lead up to 11 with 2:28 left in overtime.

Shippensburg returns to action on Wednesday night when they travel to Shepherd for a 7 p.m. contest.
