The home team took the win in today's matchup, 83-66, earning their second PSUAC win in a row at home.
Sophomore gaurd Kyle Kelly, 10, found his shot early in the game, scoring 17 of Scranton's 39 points before the second half. Hasiin Dixon, 5, added 9 points and 7 rebounds before halftime, sealing the 39-21 score as the teams went to the locker room.
