SHIPPENSBURG,

Pa.– In what was the close to a special season, the Lock Haven University men’s basketball team (1712, 12-10 PSAC) fell to Shippensburg University (19-10, 16-6 PSAC), 7554, on Wednesday night in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Quarterfinal matchup.

For the Bald Eagles, Wednesday night capped a record-setting season for The Haven. The 17 wins marks the program’s most since 2013-14, and Monday’s first-round win over Millersville marked The Haven’s first PSAC playoff win in 33 years.

In front of a packed Heiges Field House in Shippensburg, the scoring came fast in the opening minutes, and Shippensburg held a 11-8 lead at the game’s first media timeout.

After the No. 5 seed Bald Eagles led at 15-13, the East’s top seed Raiders closed the half on an extended 28-10 to take a 41-25 lead into halftime.
