FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Mansfield improves to 3-0 on season with 94-73 win over Penn State-DuBois – Tony Fannick top five Mounties in double figures

MANSFIELD – Tony Fannick topped five Mountaineers in double figures to lead Mansfield to a 94-73 win over Penn State-DuBois Monday night at Decker Gymnasium.

“They played us tough,” said head coach Rich Miller. “But I wasn't worried about the final outcome. We made some early adjustment and put in a press that really changed the tempo of the game.”

PSU-DuBois came out on fire hitting six 3-pointers in the first five minutes of the game to take a 22-9 lead at the 14:20 mark of the first half.

But Mansfield put on a new press and went on a 22-2 run over the next six minutes to take a 25-24 lead on a tip-in by Anthony Derrison at the 8:33 mark. Mansfield would never trail again and held a 45-38 lead at halftime.

Fannick scored 14 of his points in the first half while Mansfield shot 58% as a team over the first 20 minutes.

Mansfield would extend its lead to as much as 85-59 on a layup by Donnie Lyons before slowing the tempo down over the final nine minutes.

Fannick pulled down six rebounds in addition to his 17 points while senior Chris Pender scored 16 points and also had six rebounds. Senior Ryan Callahan added 15 points with 11 of them coming in the second half. Yuseff Carr and Derrison Anthony both had 12 points with Anthony also pulling down a game-high seven rebounds.

Josh Salter scored a game-high 23 points to lead Penn State-DuBois while Chris Dickison scored 19 and Marcus Genevro 18 points respectively.

Mansfield improves to 3-0 and will host Penn College Tuesday starting at 7 p.m. at Decker Gymnasium.
