Box Score 2/7/23

NEWARK, De. -- Needing a big second half to come out with the win, Lackawanna College men's basketball got just that, outscoring Delaware Tech by 20 points in the second half to get a big 93-67 road win in Region XIX DII play on Tuesday evening.
 
The Falcons (13-8, 4-3) held a double-digit lead at 34-23 with under five minutes to go in the first half, only to see Del Tech (7-17, 0-7) hit a 9-0 run to close within 34-32 in less than two minutes of game time. Lackawanna regained its composure, taking a 42-36 lead into halftime, setting up the Falcons for a big start to the second frame.
 
The Falcons used a 13-0 run over the first four-and-a-half minutes of the second half to stretch their lead out to 19, putting the home Terry Hawks in a hole they could never recover from. The Falcon lead expanded to as much as 29, leading 86-57 with under three minutes to play. 93 points are the most the Falcons have scored in a Region XIX game since scoring 99 points against Mercer County CC in the Region XIX playoffs back in March 2019.
 
The win catapults the Falcons from fourth-place to second in the Region XIX Division II standings. The next game for Lackawanna College is against first-place Raritan Valley CC, at home, on Thursday, February 9^th at 7:00pm ET.
