SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – Five different players scored in double figures on Wednesday night as the Shippensburg University men's basketball team posted an 81-70 victory over Millersville from Heiges Field House.

The Raiders (10-17, 7-14 PSAC) shot 29-of-53 (58 percent) from the field and a season-high 89 percent (16-of-18) from the free throw line as SU avenged a Jan. 25 five-point road loss at Millersville (9-16, 7-14 PSAC).

Senior Jordan Stasyszyn led all scorers with 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting, including 5-of-6 from three-point range. The 19-point effort is his most since scoring 20 in a Jan. 3 home win over Penn State Wilkes-Barre.

Senior Dane Lauber made his 10th start of the season and added 17 points and a game-high eight rebounds in addition to three assists.

A trio of players scored 10 points – senior Will Royal, sophomore Dylan Edgar and freshman Sam Pygatt. Edgar and Royal each pulled in four rebounds while Pygatt came off the bench and recorded his second consecutive double-figure scoring performance.

Senior Craig Van Scyoc contributed nine points and seven rebounds while senior John Corrigan poured in six points to go along with five rebounds off the bench.

The Raiders jumped out to an early 9-2 lead in the first few minutes. Up 13-8 at the 14:08 mark of the half, a Stasyszyn three sparked a 12-0 SU run that opened up a 25-8 lead with 8:38 left in the first half.

Millersville cut its deficit down to just six, 30-24, with 1:59 left in the half. The Raiders finished the half on a 6-0 run, however – with four points from Royal and a Van Scyoc layup just as time expired – to give SU a 36-24 lead at intermission.

Shippensburg did not let up in the second half, eventually grabbing a 20-point, 54-34 lead eight minutes into the period. The Marauders chipped away in the last few minutes of the game, trimming the lead to 13 points with 2:52 remaining. SU went 8-of-8 from the free throw line in the final 1:32, however, to cement the victory.

The Raiders will wrap up their season on Saturday afternoon with a 3 p.m. tip against Kutztown from Heiges Field House. Before the game, the team will honor its five seniors – Stasyszyn, Royal, Van Scyoc, Lauber and Corrigan.
