LA PLUME, Pa.- The Keystone College men's basketball team couldn't hold onto a double-digit halftime lead as Penn College surged in the second half to earn an 80–77 United East victory Wednesday evening in the Gambal Athletic Center.

Keystone got 17 points from PJ Murphy (Scranton, Pa./Scranton), who knocked down three triples, while Ahmodrion Jones (Wilmington, Del./Delcastle Tech) and Tyler Ditton (Fulton, N.Y./G.

Owen Newcomer supplied 10 points, and Cydae Joseph-Davis delivered an energetic 8-point, 6-rebound effort off the bench.

The Giants led 42–32 at the break after shooting 46 percent from three in the opening half, but the visitors flipped the game after halftime, shooting nearly 57 percent from the floor and outscoring Keystone 48–35 to pull out the victory.

Penn College outrebounded the Giants 43-38 and had a 25-19 edge on fast-break points.
