In the opening seconds of the first half, freshman Austin Slawter (Philadelphia, Pa.) kicked off the game with a shot from downtown. Neither team could take a large lead in the first 15 minutes, but two consecutive three-pointers for the Chargers spurred a 16-4 to end the first half.

The Chargers pulled even further ahead in the second half with three-shots from behind the arc in the first four minutes of action. Sloan helped the Nittany Lions keep pace with his accuracy from downtown. However, the Nittany Lions could not gain ground on the Chargers.

The men will be on the road traveling Penn College on Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m.
