Major leads Nittany Lions to win over Cazenovia

READING, PA (December 7, 2013) - Darren Major matched a career-high in scoring as the Penn State Berks men's basketball team defeated Cazenovia College, 82-69, in a North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) contest on Saturday afternoon at Beaver Community Center.

The Nittany Lions improved to 2-5 overall and 2-1 in the conference, while the Wildcats fell to 3-4 on the season and 1-3 in the NEAC. Berks jumped out to a 9-0 lead in the early going, but found themselves down 27-19 with 9:16 to go in the half. The Nittany Lions regrouped and went on a 14-4 run in the final five minutes to take a nine point lead into the intermission.

Major netted 16 of his 25 points in the first half. He finished the game 11-of-16 from the floor and 3-of-6 from long range. The sophomore guard has reached double-figures in every game this season and raised his season average to 16.3 points per game. Major matched his career-high of 25 points, which he recorded on February 13, 2013 at Penn State Harrisburg.

Christian Burggraf knocked down three 3-pointers and finished the game with 13 points, followed by Tom Smith with 11. Smith also had a team-high six rebounds. Dameon Nixon continued his stellar play with seven points, five boards, five assists, and three steals. Shavoy Murray had four points and a huge steal to help the Nittany Lions during their run to close out the first half.

Nate Hudson led the Wildcats with 13 points, followed by Brad LeFevre with 10.
