SCRANTON, PA. – In the consolation game of the Electric City Tournament the Penn State Abington men's basketball team shut down the hosts Marywood University 55-43 on Saturday afternoon.  The Nittany Lions improve to 4-3 for the season after the tournament.

Leading the Nittany Lions in scoring was Alex Salata III scoring 16 points while Podolski worked under the basket earning 12 rebounds.

In the first minutes of the game Salata III helped the Nittany Lions take an early 10-4 lead after he hit a pair of threes from downtown. The Pacers came back to tie the game with five minutes off the clock. Over the next ten minutes Abington pulled ahead with a 13-4 run powered by five Nittany Lions hitting the net.  Abington kept momentum going right before the break when Jomiloju Odumosu hit his jumper to give the Nittany Lions a 29-22 lead at the break.

Abington worked to get to the line scoring 10 of their 26 points from the stripe. The Nittany Lions did well down the stretch to keep the Pacers off the board and with a minute to go held a comfortable 16 point lead.
