Flynn's career day not enough against Abington

ABINGTON, PA (December 6, 2014) - Jalen Flynn poured in a game-high 33 points, but it was not enough as the Penn State Berks men's basketball team suffered an 84-74 setback to Penn State Abington in a North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) contest on Saturday afternoon.

The Nittany Lions trailed 39-33 at halftime, with Flynn scoring 19 points of those points. He hit a 3-pointer with 16:47 remaining to cut the deficit three points, but Abington was able to pad its lead to 13 with 13:22 left to play. Berks was able to cut their deficit to five points with 10:52 to play, but that is as close as they would get the rest of the way.

Flynn's 33 points are the third most in program-history, trailing Joe Askew's 41 (Villa Julie College, 1/16/07) and Darren Major's 35 (Gallaudet University, 2/4/14). The freshman guard shot 12-of-21 from the field including 3-of-8 from long range and went 6-for-7 at the foul line. He also had a season-high seven rebounds in 37 minutes of action.

Baba Waples also turned in a strong performance with a 17 points and eight rebounds, both of which are personal bests. He went 7-for-8 at the foul line. Waples dished out three assists and recorded two steals. Dameon Nixon had eight points, eight rebounds, five assists, and two steals. Joel Ellison added six points and eight assists, while Christian Burggraf chipped in six points and four steals. Nygel Belizaire grabbed six rebounds and matched a career-high with five blocked shots.

Max Alton knocked down six 3's and finished with a team high 26 points, followed by DeQuan Jackson with 19. Alex Agyedu recorded 14 points, 14 rebounds, nine assists, and three steals. Devin Jones had 13 points and contest high 16 rebounds and four steals.

The Nittany Lions will host DeSales University in a non-conference contest on Wednesday, December 10 at 7 p.m.
