WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – The Susquehanna men's basketball improved to 4-0 on the season with a 97-86 victory at Lycoming on Monday night, SU's third game in four days.

Brandon Hedley added 15 points – 12 of which came from three-point range and Tyler Hoagland scored 11 points to go along with four assists in 26 minutes of action off the bench.
