PSUD Men Clinch Playoff Birth with Win at PSU York

Playing at the Spooky Nook Sports Complex, Dubois knew they had to come the most focused they'd ever been. Both teams were evenly matched, leading to a slow pace to start the game because of valuing efforts on the defensive end. Five minutes into the first half the game was tied at 15 all. At the 10:00 mark, York was able to use perimeter shooting and foul shots to take the lead 28-23. Dubois was not going away however; they were able to answer with a 16-10 run to take the lead with 5 minutes remaining in the half. Going into the half, Dubois was able to knock down shots by Conde, Pierce, and Mills to walk into the locker room with a 6-point lead. Score was 54-48.

Both teams continued to grind in the second half. Dubois was able to hold onto their lead at 61-55 at the 15:00 minute mark. At that point, York went on a 15-9 run to come within 2 points with ten minutes remaining in the game. Dubois found themselves down 5 with only 5 minutes to go in regulation. York turned it on at this point maintaining the lead for most of the last 5 minutes. With 00:08 left on the clock Dubois scrambled to find an open shot in which they found Kyle Mills from deep beyond the arc. Mills knocked down the shot to tie the game at 101-101 sending the game into overtime. York controlled the first 3 minutes of overtime. Dubois fought back and was able to take the lead with 2:00 left in OT. After much needed defensive possessions by PSUD, they were able to hold onto the lead as the buzzer sound.
