Box Score

BLOOMSBURG—Dave Fedorka scored a game-high 25 points and hit five three-pointers to lead East Stroudsburg University to a 92-76 win over Bloomsburg University Saturday night in men's college basketball action. The win snapped an 11-game winning streak for the Huskies over the Warriors. The last win for the Warriors over Bloomsburg came during the 1996-97 season.

Bloomsburg (6-16, 2-7 PSAC East) held the early edge in the game using six points from Tom Barlow (Dresher/Upper Dublin) and four Adam Bohman (Sussex, NJ/Vernon Twp) to hold an early 14-4 lead with 15:53 to play in the opening half. The Warriors (7-15, 1-7 PSAC East), though, rallied with a 10-0 run to knot the game at 14-all.

The Huskies came back with its own run and took a 22-14 lead on a layup by Bohman with 10:54 to play in the half. However, a 14-6 run by the Warriors gave the visitors a one-point lead at 28-27 with 5:38 led in the half. Two Ryan Luckman (York/York Catholic) free throws gave the Huskies a brief one-point lead on the next possession, before the Warriors went off on a 21-3 run over the next four minutes to take a 49-32 lead with 1:36 left in the half. Fedorka scored 10 points for the Warriors in the run and hit two, three-pointers.

In the second half, with the Warriors holding a lead of 60-45, the Huskies scored eight straight points on baskets from Barlow, Luckman, Ryan Hewitt (Marlton, NJ/Cherokee) and Bohman to pull within seven points, 60-53 with 11:21 to play. However, a back-to-back three pointers from Wayne Bishop and Murvin English and a layup from Lamont Jones quickly pushed the Warriors lead back to 15 at 68-53.

The closest the Huskies would get the rest of the way was nine points, 68-59, before the Warriors used a layup, a couple of free throws and two more back-to-back three pointers to put the game away at 76-59 with 5:58 to play.

Bloomsburg was led in scoring by Barlow with 24 points and nine rebounds, while Bohman scored 21 points. Luckman finished with eight points, six rebounds and nine assists.

Along with Fedorka's 25 points, Jones added 24 points and 11 rebounds with Wayne Bishop getting 17 points. In all, the Warriors hit on 12 of 25 attempts from behind the arc.
