GLENSIDE, PA. – Six players hit double-digit scoring, but it wasn't enough for the Penn State Abington men's basketball team to power past Arcadia in an 89-75 loss on Sunday afternoon. The Nittany Lions fall to 4-5 after today's defeat.

Sophomore guard Jay Fitzgerald (Philadelphia, PA) led the Nittany Lions with 17 points, and on the boards Jordan Lomax (West Haven, CT) and Pernell Ghee (Germantown, PA) each earned six rebounds respectively.

In the second half the Nittany Lions tried to claw their way back in but couldn't get within striking distance.
