BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Sophomore guards Danny Frauenheim (Point Pleasant Beach, N.J./Point Pleasant Beach) and Jay Martin (Columbia, Md./River Hill) combined for 39 points as the Susquehanna University men's basketball team posted their fourth straight win Wednesday night. Susquehanna (17-7, 10-3 LC) picked up a 90-67 Landmark Conference road win over Moravian College (13-11, 8-5 LC) to split the season series.
 
The River Hawks are now tied for first in the league standings with Drew University as Drew took down the University of Scranton, 73-70, tonight to break the three-way tie for first. If the season ended tonight, SU would be the No. 1 seed because the River Hawks swept Drew. Drew (10-3 LC) would be the No. 2 seed followed by third-seeded Scranton (9-4 LC) and Moravian (8-5 LC) as the fourth seed.
