MIDDLETOWN, Pa. - The offense sputtered down the stretch during Penn State Harrisburg's men's basketball team's 75-66 setback to Neumann at the Capital Union Building on Monday night, Nov. 28.
Isaiah Eggleston netted 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to record his first career double-double, while Zegary Scott III scored a team-high 19 points to go along with eight assists. Nate Curry was the third player to reach double digits with 10 points.
After the game proved to be a back-and-forth affair for much of the night, the Lions (3-3) erased a four-point deficit early in the second half and used a 20-8 run that included 13 combined points from Scott and Chase Robinson to pull ahead 60-52 with 9:39 left to play.
From there, however, Penn State Harrisburg went ice cold from the floor and managed just three field goals the rest of the way. The Knights (5-2) took advantage and put together a pivotal 23-6 run to end the contest.
