DOYLESTOWN (PA) – Delaware Valley College scored the first 11 points of the game and cruised to its 12th win of the season with an 85-53, non-conference victory over visiting Penn State Harrisburg.

The Aggies are now 12-12 with one regular-season game remaining – a home contest with Misericordia University on Saturday, February 23. A win would give them a winning record in the regular season for the first time since 1986-87 (15-10) and also mark a 10-game turnaround under rookie head coach Casey Stitzel.

Delaware Valley will then get ready for its first playoff game in 40 years as the squad will travel to either Eastern University or Wilkes University (to be determined on Saturday) for the opening round of the Freedom Conference tournament on Monday, February 23.

The Aggies hit their first three shots from beyond the arc – two by Jason Seipt and one by James Jones - and added a layup by Mike Williams for an 11-0 lead just 3:10 into the contest. Penn State Harrisburg (8-16) pulled to within five on four separate occasions in the half, including at 22-17 following Brian Barry's layup with 9:53 remaining. However, Delaware Valley responded with 12 straight points, including eight by Zach Wise, to build a 34-17 advantage with 6:10 to go in the half.

It was still a 17-point advantage when the Aggies went on another run, this time a 9-0 spurt in the final two minutes of the half, and they took a 52-26 lead into the intermission. Jason Goldheimer hit a pair of treys while Jones had an old-fashioned three-point play.

The second half saw the Delaware Valley lead balloon to as many as 36. All 10 healthy players saw at least 16 minutes of action and they all also hit the scoring column. Williams led the way as the freshman forward tallied 20 points, nine rebounds, six assists and three steals in 19 minutes of action. Jones finished with 12 points while Goldheimer and Wise contributed 11 points apiece.

Penn State Harrisburg was led by Rhett Sheibley and Shane Woodman as they each scored 12 points. Joey Fried added nine points and seven boards in the loss.
