SELINSGROVE, Pa.- The Juniata men's basketball team lost on the road at Susquehanna University 66-41 on Wednesday evening inside O.W. Houts Gymnasium.

SU opened the game on a 15-2 run over the first four and a half minutes. The Eagles offense began to find a rhythm as Kocak and Hardy each drilled threes to help cut the deficit to five with a little under nine to go in the half. The River Hawks slowly added to their lead before Tyler Lapetina found Ivery for a jumper to make it 28-17 with three and a half to go. The hosts scored the final four points of the half to make it 32-17 at the break. 

Susquehanna opened the second half with an 11-3 run, and the Eagles couldn't find their way back into the game the rest of the way. 

Juniata returns home to host the University of Scranton Saturday at 4:00.
