Abington, Pa.- The Penn State Abington men's basketball team halted their six-game losing streak Wednesday night, as they defeated the Wilson College Phoenix by a 115-81 score.
 
Devin Jones (Philadelphia, Pa.) would have himself a night to remember.
 
A good layup from the aforementioned Jones at the 9:54 mark of the first half would give Abington a 24-18 lead.
 
A pair of good free throws from Jones at the 2:07 mark of the first half would give Abington a 15 point lead at 45-30. The Nittany Lions would take a 51-37 lead into half.
 
Jones recorded 24 points in the first half on 8-of-8 shooting while collecting 10 rebounds. Dequan Jackson was second among all Abington players in the first half with 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting.
 
In the second half, Abington's dominance over Wilson would continue. A three-pointer from Max Alton (Pennington, N.J.) at the 10:34 mark of the second half would extend Abington's lead to 33 points.
 
Jones paced Abington on the night tallying a career-high 35 points on 12-of-12 shooting from the floor. Jones also collected 15 rebounds. Dequan Jackson scored 25 points on 9-of-13 shooting, and Max Alton recorded 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting. Spencer Bartron (Camden, Del.) had 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting off the bench.

The 115 points scored was the most points scored by the Nittany Lions since joining the NEAC in 2011. Abington scored 113 points in a double-overtime victory over Penn State Harrisburg on January 27, 2013. They also recorded 113 points against then SUNY IT back on January 15, 2012.
