Penn State Harrisburg Travels to Face Division I United States Naval Academy
Posted: Nov 25, 2014

Middletown, Pa - The Penn State Harrisburg men's basketball team competes in the Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) which frequently will have anywhere from 3-4 nationally ranked teams throughout a season.  Despite the difficult schedule ahead, the Lions have shown they are not afraid to play anyone, including the Division I United States Naval Academy.

The Blue and White are leaving today for another work trip, but will also make it a memorable experience for the team as they will be taking a private tour of the Capital while there.  Thanks to the help of PA Congressmen Charlie Dent, the men are going to not just see the sites, but get a VIP tour of the House and Senate chambers as well as the Supreme Court building.

 Once the site seeing and team bonding time is over, it will be back to business preparing for what could arguably be Penn State Harrisburg's toughest game of the year.  Making the game a little more difficult is the absence of Rayshaun Anderson-Brown (Carlisle, Pa. / Carlisle) and Joey Farthing (Lancaster, Pa. / Hempfield), two returning starters who have yet to see the floor due to injuries. 
Navy started off the season with just a five point loss to Michigan State and most recently defeated Binghamton 70-68 on the road.  The Lions are coming off a double digit loss to the still undefeated Susquehanna University on Monday. 
 

Tickets are still available and the game will also be broadcast online and can be viewed by going to www.athletics.hbg.psu.edu.  Tip-off is set for 7:00 pm Wednesday November 26th.
