Late Push Puts Moravian Over Eagles, 69-55

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Juniata men's basketball team could not stop a late push by Moravian College Saturday afternoon as they dropped their first game of the year, 69-55, on the road in their first Landmark Conference contest.  The Eagles move to 5-1 overall (0-1 Landmark) with the loss while Moravian improves to 4-1 overall (1-0 Landmark).

Junior Brian Scholly (State College, Pa./State College) hit a career-high six three's shots in first half en route to his career-high 23 points.  Scholly went 7-for-12 from 3-point range.  Fellow junior Kevin Stapleton (Indiana, Pa./Indiana) also finished in double-digits.  He put up 15 points and grabbed a team-high six rebounds.
