Slow Start Hurts Men’s Basketball in Playoff Loss to Moravian

Tyler Hoagland, Dominic Dunn and Dan Frauenheim each scored 15 points apiece and Matt LaCorte added 12 points, but the No. 3 seeded Susquehanna University Men's Basketball team fell 91-73 to No. 2 Moravian Wednesday evening in Bethlehem. Moravian was red-hot to start the game and the River Hawks worked to get back into the game, but were ultimately eliminated from the playoffs.
 
How It Happened
 
  • The Greyhounds (18-7) came out firing, nailing three shots from downtown before the River Hawks (16-10) got on the board on a layup by Zach Knecht.
  • Moravian continued to knock down shots, and the score ballooned to 27-6 before another Susquehanna timeout. The River Hawks then began to chip away at the lead with Hoagland, Frauenheim and Dunn leading the way. A made layup by Frauenheim made it 41-30, but the team eventually headed into the locker room facing a 47-32 deficit.
  • The second half saw both sides go back-and-forth, which played to the advantage of Moravian, who was content to maintain their cushion. At the 12:44 mark, a Dunn layup made the score 61-47 and a made layup by Jaden Martin cut the deficit to an even dozen.
  • Unfortunately for the River Hawks, the Greyhounds were able to withstand the push and kept their advantage in double figures for the remainder of the contest. A few long passes to a streaking LaCorte, Bryce Butler and Mike Kempski were not enough and Moravian prevailed 91-73, largely on the back of their leading scorer O'Neil Holder.
 
Inside the Box Score
 
  • Hoagland finished with 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Dunn notched another double-double with 15 points and 11 rebound and Frauenheim was the third 15-point scorer of the night. He also added five assists.
  • LaCorte was the fourth scorer in double figures with 12 points.
  • Holder led the way for the Greyhounds with 24 points on 9-of-13 shooting.
 
The River Hawks finish the season with a 16-10 record, recording six more victories than the 2017-18 season. The team returns several strong newcomers and looks forward to the 2019-20 season.  Hoagland finished his career with 474 assists, which has him third in program history.
