Lastsecond basket crushes the Haven
By MIKE CROSBY
Staff Reporter
Only :05 remains in the
game; Hendershot shoots and
scores; the scoreboard reads
Lock Haven 49 - Mansfield 48.
Mansfield calls a time out and
works out its strategy for a last
shot. The ball inbounds to
Robinson, he starts dribbling
up the court, then throws the
ball to Balasick, and he sends
the ball arching towards the
basket with :01 remaining in
the game. As the buzzer
sounds, the scoreboard reads
Mansfield 50 Lock Haven 49.
This was the ending to the
very exciting and breathtaking
Lock Haven - Mansfield game
played Monday night at Mansfield.
Both teams came out of the
locKer room shooting very
cold. Lock Haven was using a
very deliberate offense to
control the game. Mansfield's
offense was a bit unorganized,
and had no real pattern to it.
Mansfield was using a 1-3-1
zone defense while Lock
Haven was using a man to
man.
With 10 minutes remaining
in the first half, the score was
10-8 in favor of Lock Haven.
This low scoring was to be the
pattern for the game. Mansfield took the lead 12-10 with
9:00 remaining in the half.
Within the next 2:30 Mansfield outscored Lock Haven 9-2
and took a seven point lead,
this turned out to be the
biggest lead that any team
would mount.
Lock Haven came back and
cut Mansfield's lead to one
point with a minute remaining
in the half. With only :10 to go
Bill Vassallo connected on a
give and go from Mike Fitzgerald to give the Haven a one
point lead. Then with just :01
left Vassallo tipped in a shot to
give Lock Haven a 26-23 half
time lead.
In the first half both teams
were very cold shooting from
the floor, and both had many
turnovers. The officiating was
also very poor with players
getting pushed and shoved all
over the court. This loose
officiating continued throughout the game.
Mansfield came out in the
second half using a 2-3 zone
defense. Lock Haven was
using a man to man. Both
teams continued to use their
respective offense's.
With 13:40 remaining to be
played Mansfield took a slim
two point lead, 33-31. This
lead was not to last long as Al
Ridge scored seven straight
points to give The Haven a
38-33 lead with 10:51 on the
clock. The Haven kept this
lead for awhile on key baskets
by Bob Ward and Joe Sain.
Mansfield, however was
not to be denied, and just kept
coming back and finally took a
43-43 lead with 5:45 to go. Al
Ridge scored again to put The
Haven on top, but Mansfield
got off four straight points to
I

take a 47-44 lead with just 3:10
remaining to be played.
Mansfield had earlier
changed to a man to man, but
went back to a 2-3 zone to force
Lock Haven to shoot from the
outside. With 2:00 left, Tom
Huff connected and cut the
margin to one. Both teams
exchanged free throws in the
next 40 seconds, and with :50
to play the score was Mansfield 48 Lock Haven 47.
The remaining :50 were
very tense and exciting. Lock
Haven brought the ball down
the court and turned it over,
then Mansfield came back and

Kent State's victories have

The last time these two

Following opening season
wins over Oswego State and
the University of Buffalo, the
Bald Eagles traveled south
over the holidays, racking up
six victories and winning one
match by forfeit.
Lock Haven started its
onslaught with a 37-6 win over

their record to 4-0.

Lastsecond basket crushes the Haven
By MIKE CROSBY
Staff Reporter
Only :05 remains in the
game; Hendershot shoots and
scores; the scoreboard reads
Lock Haven 49 - Mansfield 48.
Mansfield calls a time out and
works out its strategy for a last
shot. The ball inbounds to
Robinson, he starts dribbling
up the court, then throws the
ball to Balasick, and he sends
the ball arching towards the
basket with :01 remaining in
the game. As the buzzer
sounds, the scoreboard reads
Mansfield 50 Lock Haven 49.
This was the ending to the
very exciting and breathtaking
Lock Haven - Mansfield game
played Monday night at Mansfield.
Both teams came out of the
locKer room shooting very
cold. Lock Haven was using a
very deliberate offense to
control the game. Mansfield's
offense was a bit unorganized,
and had no real pattern to it.
Mansfield was using a 1-3-1
zone defense while Lock
Haven was using a man to
man.
With 10 minutes remaining
in the first half, the score was
10-8 in favor of Lock Haven.
This low scoring was to be the
pattern for the game. Mansfield took the lead 12-10 with
9:00 remaining in the half.
Within the next 2:30 Mansfield outscored Lock Haven 9-2
and took a seven point lead,
this turned out to be the
biggest lead that any team
would mount.
Lock Haven came back and
cut Mansfield's lead to one
point with a minute remaining
in the half. With only :10 to go
Bill Vassallo connected on a
give and go from Mike Fitzgerald to give the Haven a one
point lead. Then with just :01
left Vassallo tipped in a shot to
give Lock Haven a 26-23 half
time lead.
In the first half both teams
were very cold shooting from
the floor, and both had many
turnovers. The officiating was
also very poor with players
getting pushed and shoved all
over the court. This loose
officiating continued throughout the game.
Mansfield came out in the
second half using a 2-3 zone
defense. Lock Haven was
using a man to man. Both
teams continued to use their
respective offense's.
With 13:40 remaining to be
played Mansfield took a slim
two point lead, 33-31. This
lead was not to last long as Al
Ridge scored seven straight
points to give The Haven a
38-33 lead with 10:51 on the
clock. The Haven kept this
lead for awhile on key baskets
by Bob Ward and Joe Sain.
Mansfield, however was
not to be denied, and just kept
coming back and finally took a
43-43 lead with 5:45 to go. Al
Ridge scored again to put The
Haven on top, but Mansfield
got off four straight points to

take a 47-44 lead with just 3:10
remaining to be played.
Mansfield had earlier
changed to a man to man, but
went back to a 2-3 zone to force
Lock Haven to shoot from the
outside. With 2:00 left, Tom
Huff connected and cut the
margin to one. Both teams
exchanged free throws in the
next 40 seconds, and with :50
to play the score was Mansfield 48 Lock Haven 47.
The remaining :50 were
very tense and exciting. Lock
Haven brought the ball down
the court and turned it over,
then Mansfield came back and
missed a shot. Lock Haven got

Kent State's victories have

The last time these two

off one of the biggest upsets in
wrestling and one of the
greatest matches ever held in
Thomas Fieldhouse. The Bald

both undefeated going into the
match - LHS coming away with
an 18-10 win and avenging a
25-5 thrashing which they took

The varsity showdown is set
to start at 8:00 with no J.V.

Following opening season

the University of Buffalo, the
Bald Eagles traveled south
over the holidays, racking up
six victories and winning one
match by forfeit.
Lock Haven started its
onslaught with a 37-6 win over

and with the forfeit win hiked
their record to 4-0.
