Reid scorches net, but Nittany Lions fall to Rutgers-Camden



READING, PA (February 1, 2012) – Dontez Reid led all scorers with 23 points, but the Penn State Berks men's basketball team dropped its non-conference contest, 85-71, to Rutgers-Camden on Wednesday evening at Beaver Community Center.

The Nittany Lions (4-13) were down 44-38 at half and trailed by just two points with 13:01 remaining in the game, but the Scarlet Raptors (4-17) wouldn't surrender the lead.

Reid knocked down six 3-pointers, matching a personal-best set last season against Morrisville State. He connected from long distance four times in the first half alone. Reid finished the contest 7-of-12 from the field and converted on 3-of-4 trips at the foul line.

Jeff Schmidt (13 points) and Connor Hough (12 points) rounded out the Nittany Lions in double-figures. Schmidt, who has a streak of nine straight games with a least one blocked shot, is second in the conference with a 1.6 blocks per game average. Tore Turner finished the game with eight points and a team-high five assists.

The Scarlet Raptors shot lights out, going 61.4% from the field and 53.3% from beyond the arc. Mike Payne led the team with 19 points, followed by Kyle Bowman with 17. Michael Williams added 15 points and Woody Redding chipped in 10.
