GMC Hoops Highlights–November 30, 2013–Penn @ Lafayette–Ivy League vs. Patriot League Matchup

Here are highlights from Lafayette’s victory over Penn in a clash between two prestigious academic institutions from the Patriot and Ivy Leagues. Lafayette hit a couple early threes en route to a 10-2 start at the 16:47 mark only to have Penn answer with a 13-2 run for a 15-13 at the 13:15 mark. From there, the game was a back and forth affair. Penn would take a 38-37 lead at the half as former St. Joseph’s standout, Steve Rennard (2 points and 2 rebounds) hustled for an offensive rebound off his own miss to help set up the go ahead score at the break. In the second half though, Lafayette took control midway through the period, and led by six late before Penn tried to rally with a three point play by Jamal Lewis and a three by Fran Dougherty. However, the Quakers came up short in a 79-76 loss to the Leopards.
