Crimson Hawks Spoil Senior Night For Griffins

GREENSBURG, Pa. - Seton Hill University rallied from down seven late in the second half, but a last-second heave was a split second too late as the Griffins fell to Indiana University of Pennsylvania, 65-64, in the 2017-18 season finale on Saturday afternoon inside the Katherine Mabis McKenna Center.

Seton Hill finishes the 2017-18 season with a record of 10-18 overall and 6-16 in the PSAC. IUP improves to 22-7 overall and 18-4 in conference play.

Seton Hill started off with a 5-1 run over the first two minutes of the game. The Crimson Hawks would battle back with a 5-0 run to take a 6-5 lead with 16:10 remaining in the first. From there the first half saw both teams trade runs with neither team taking more than a four-point lead and IUP leading by four, 36-32.

Trailing by nine, 60-51, with 6:59 remaining in the second half, the Griffins used a 9-0 run to tie the game at 60 apiece. Lecuona's jumper got the run started with 6:41 remaining, and after some extracurricular activities from both sides resulted in a bevy of fouls and technical fouls, Lecuona struck again with a three to pull within four, 60-56. Trevor Blondin then scored a layup, and Nathan Davis hit on both free-throws after the under-four media timeout to tie that ballgame, 60-60, with 4:00 remaining. IUP responded with a layup to regain the lead, but a layup by Bowling evened the game at 62-62. After a dunk by IUP's Diaz with 1:44 remaining, Spencer Casson's tip-in off of his own miss tied the game back up at 64-64. From there the two teams traded missed shots before a foul called on Seton Hill resulted in IUP's Willem Brandwijk hitting on 1-of-2 free-throws and the Crimson Hawks held on for the win.  

Trevor Lecuona scored a team-high 16 points on a 7-of-13 shooting night, but Spencer Casson registered his 11th double-double of the season with 10 points and 14 rebounds. Trevor Blondin finished with 15 points on 5-of-9 from the flor while Nathan Davis had 13 points.

IUP was led by Anthony Glover's game-high 21 points. Jacobo Diaz had a double-double 13 points and 12 rebounds.

Seton Hill's Tyler Bowling, Matt Kline, Spencer Casson, and Terell Duck were honored as graduating seniors before the game.
