It appears the CDT staffed the game – Ed.

Centre Daily Times | 11/28/2004 | Reserves play key role in PSU victory over Sacred Heart:

“It is not a deep bench, nor one that is being asked to deliver much. But there will be a few times this season when Penn State will need some sort of a spark from its reserves.

“The Nittany Lions certainly did on Saturday. And they got it.

“Sixth man Danny Morrissey scored eight of his 11 points in the first eight minutes of the second half, helping Penn State to a 69-61 defeat of Sacred Heart at the Bryce Jordan Center.

Kevin Fellows and Jason McDougald also were solid in reserve for the Nittany Lions (3-2), who didn’t make it easy on themselves but gutted out their third win in four games.

“‘Everyone has a role on the team, and everyone’s filling it,’ said Aaron Johnson, who led Penn State with 18 points and 20 rebounds. ‘It’s something you’ve got to learn how to do — bring energy and bring emotion. Even if you don’t score or get a rebound, if you bring energy, positive plays will happen.'”
