RECAP: Men’s Basketball falls in overtime at Lock Haven, 79-67

Sleva’s dynamic performance includes 20 points, 19 rebounds

The Shippensburg University men's basketball team fell in overtime at Lock Haven on Saturday, dropping a 79-67 decision to the Bald Eagles in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division matchup at Thomas Field House.
 
Shippensburg (15-7, 12-5 PSAC) trailed by five points at halftime and was locked in a see-saw battle with Lock Haven (9-12, 7-9) that featured 10 ties and 14 lead changes. The Raiders took the lead with 42 seconds remaining, but the Bald Eagles then tied it and later missed a shot at the buzzer that could have won it in regulation. LHU opened overtime on an 8-0 run to take control.
 
Redshirt-junior Dom Sleva dropped 20 points and a career-high 19 rebounds for his fifth double-double of the season. It is the most rebounds in a single game by a Raider since John Castello had 19 rebounds in 2019 against Bloomsburg. Sleva shot 7-of-13 from the field and contributed two steals and a block.
 
Redshirt-junior Rashon Johnson put up a 14-point, 11-rebound performance for his seventh double-double of the year. He added three steals and two assists.
 
Graduate Jake Biss had 12 points, four assists and three rebounds. Senior Kiyon Hardy had nine points, two rebounds, and a steal and shot 5-of-6 from the free throw line.
 
Junior Carlos Carter had eight points, and five rebounds. Carter and Johnson both played the full 45 minutes.
 
SU was held to 31-percent shooting, including 12 percent (4-of-33) from three-point range. The Raiders shot 8-of-9 from the free-throw line in the second half but finished the game just 15-of-24 (63 percent) overall at the free-throw line.
 
Lock Haven's Dymir Montague had a 21-point, 11-rebound double-double performance and had four assists and one steal. DaQuan Granberry had 16 points and nine rebounds. Jesse McPherson dropped 14 points, seven rebounds, three blocks and one assist.
