The SUNY Oneonta men's basketball team ran into a hot shooting Lycoming squad today in the championship game of the Dutch Burch Tournament hosted by Lycoming.  The hosts shot 60 percent from the field en route to taking a 108-86 victory and handing the Red Dragons its first loss of the season.
 
Junior Matthew Boyd (Hempstead/Half Hollow Hills East) was Oneonta's lone All-Tournament selection after posting 10 points in today's game.  Last night, Boyd drained the game-winning shot with three seconds left to lead the Red Dragons to a 66-64 win against DeSales.
 
Oneonta (2-1) never led in today's contest tying the score at 2-2 in the opening minute of the game.  The Red Dragons trailed by as many as 16 points in the first half, but made a late run in the closing minutes of the half to close the gap to three points entering halftime.  Sophomore Kevin Mackin (Nanuet/Nanuet) buried a three-pointer as time was expiring to close the deficit to 51-48.  Mackin was one of six players in double figures today scoring 10 points.
 
Oneonta kept it close early in the second half trailing by only a bucket at 64-62 after a layup by sophomore Carson Jacobs (Buchanan/Hendrick Hudson) at 14:26.  Jacobs finished with six points and four boards in nine minutes of action.
 
A 10-2 spurt by Lycoming (3-0) drove its lead back to double digits at 74-64.  Oneonta cut the lead to single digits on two occasions, but could never get its deficit under 10 points over the final six minutes of the game.
 
Joining Mackin and Boyd in double figures today were senior Dwayne Freeman (Schenectady/Notre-Dame Bishop Gibbons) (18), sophomore Ian Schultz (Clifton Park/CBA) (13), sophomore Harrison Deegan (Putnam Valley/Putnam Valley) (11) and freshman Andres Rivera (Bronx/Walton) (10).  Schultz also added a team high nine boards to go with a block and a steal.
 
Oneonta will travel to Albany on Monday night to face the University of Albany in an exhibition game.  Tip-off is scheduled for 7pm.
