ANNVILLE, Pa. – Freshman Da'Kquan Davis dropped 32 points and junior Josh Scott added 29, as the Arcadia men's basketball team bested Lebanon Valley 94-82 Wednesday night. Coming into the game, the Dutchmen sat atop the MAC Commonwealth standings.
 
FOR THE RECORD:

• The Knights improve to 8-7 on the year, and even their record at 3-3 in conference play.
• Lebanon Valley drops to 11-4 overall and 5-2 in the MAC Commonwealth.

 
HOW IT HAPPENED:

• Scott's three-ball was working early and often as the Upper Darby, Pa. native scored all 18 of his first half points from long range. The first 15 of those points helped the Scarlet and Grey maintain a lead for the majority of the early portion of the opening frame.
• The hosts were able to end the first half on a sizable run to take a 47-38 lead to the break.
• Davis went to work at the start of the second stanza, scoring 10 points over the first 7:07 as part of a 26-6 Arcadia run. By the time the run ended, the Knights claimed an 11-point lead just over seven minutes into the half. The Scarlet and Grey shot 11-16 from the floor in the span, converted 3-5 free throws and forced five turnovers.
• Arcadia staved off the Dutchmen's immediate attempt at a comeback, allowing the opposition to get only as close as six. Davis closed out his career night with 12 points over the final 9:30 and played a major part in the team's game-ending 9-of-10 free throw showing.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE:

• Davis' career-high 32 points came on 11-of-16 shooting from the field, including 3-of-4 from long range, and a perfect 7-of-7 effort at the charity stripe.
• Scott totaled his 29 points on an 8-of-14 shooting effort that included converting 7-of-9 threes; he also went 6-of-7 at the foul line.
• The duo was joined in double figures by junior Phil Pierfy with 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting.
• Not only did Davis lead all scorers, he led all players with four assists. He also posted a team-best eight rebounds.  
• As a team, Arcadia shot 53.1% (34-of-64) from the floor, including 11-of-22 (50%) from distance, and converted 15-of-18 (83.3%) at the free throw line. The Knights shot 57.1% from the floor in the second half, after shooting 48.3% over the first 20 minutes.
• Off 18 Dutchmen turnovers, the Knights scored 27 points.

NOTES:

• The Dutchmen came into the night coming off wins over Albright and nationally ranked Lycoming, both of whom played in last season's MAC Commonwealth Championship Final.
• Arcadia's 94 points are the second most in a game this season (99 at Penn State Abington (11/18)).
• Davis has reached double-figure points in four-straight games and six of the last seven.

UP NEXT:

• Arcadia is set to host defending conference champion Lycoming Saturday afternoon. Tipoff is set for 3 p.m.
