SCRANTON (PA) -- Brian O'Donnell tied a career high with 28 points and also pulled down 11 rebounds to lead the University of Scranton to an 81-69 Freedom Conference victory over visiting Delaware Valley College.

The Aggies (3-14, 2-5) trailed by just, 42-36, at halftime thanks to hitting 6 of 14 shots from 3-point land. Mike Zupa connected on a trio of long-distance shorts and finished the first half with 13 points.
