The
Behrend men's basketball team dropped the Frostburg Bobcats 78-63 on
Saturday, December 1 in the Junker Center to move to 3-0 at home. Behrend is
now 1-1 in the conference and 4-1 overall.
Behrend jumped out to an 11-0 advantage early in the first half.
Justin Kovac (Venetia/Peters Township) found Adam Potter
(Pittsburgh/Mt. Lebanon) with a nice bounce pass that turned into a sweet
reverse to make it 7-0. After a pair of made free throws by Tom Newman
(Girard/Northwestern), Potter hit a deep three to make it 11-0. Behrend went
to the half up 32-24.
After not scoring in the first session Kevin Buczynski (Erie/Villa), who leads the blue and white in scoring, scored the first six points of the second half and finished with a game-high 18 points and 12 rebounds.
Potter contributed three makes from down town and five boards to go with 17 points, while Kovac added 14 points. Senior David Gahan (Erie/East) came off the bench with a big game to chip in 11 points and nine rebounds on a perfect five-for-five from the field.

Hilbert College (2-2) on Wednesday, December 5. Game time is set for 8:00
