Centre Daily Times | 01/01/2006 | Fast start propels Nittany Lions to win:
“UNIVERSITY PARK — If Penn State can get more starts to basketball games like this one, they will do just fine.
“Unfortunately, the road gets a lot tougher.
“The Nittany Lions held Mount St. Mary’s without a field goal for nearly 10 minutes in the first half on their way to a 65-53 win Saturday afternoon at the Bryce Jordan Center to close the season’s non-conference schedule.
“‘We came out ready to play and we got a pretty good start,’ Penn State coach Ed DeChellis said. ‘The first 10 minutes of the game I thought we did a pretty good job.’
“Geary Claxton led Penn State (8-3) with 16 points to go with three blocks. Jamelle Cornley added 14 points and eight rebounds and Travis Parker netted 10 points. …”
