NO. 2 IUP USES GRITTY D TO WIN 10TH PSAC MEN'S BASKETBALL TITLE - Mar 11, 2019

INDIANA, Pa. --- The No. 2 IUP Crimson Hawks used suffocating defense to claim the 2019 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Championship with a 56-49 win against Mercyhurst at Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex Sunday afternoon.

IUP won its 10th PSAC title and first since 2013. It marks the fourth title this decade for the Crimson Hawks.

The Crimson Hawks improved to 29-2 and earned an automatic bid to the NCAA DII Men's Basketball Championship. IUP entered the week at No. 1 in the Atlantic Region and have a strong possibility to host the Atlantic Regional, starting Saturday, March 16.

IUP has won 10 consecutive games.

IUP's women's team won the PSAC title earlier in the afternoon. With the victory, IUP becomes the first institution since Millersville (1987) to win both titles in the same year.

The Lakers fell to 23-7 and were led by Patrick Smith's game-high 15 points.

IUP's defense held the Lakers to a 29.7% clip. The 49-point effort marks the third lowest in a PSAC title game since 1961.

IUP senior Dante Lombardi (6'0''-PG) was named the Most Valuable Player after averaging 20.5 points during the weekend.

Both teams struggled from long range while combining to go 5-for-31.

Tied at 13, IUP closed out the first half on a 16-3 run in the final 8:20 of the first half. Mercyhurst went 1-for-17 to close out the half.

The Lakers would cut the deficit to seven, 34-27, following strong play form Miykah McIntosh (5'11''-PG).

Both teams would exchange buckets for most of the second half.

Mercyhurst made it 55-49 with a layup from Jason Massey (6'4''-G), however, IUP's defense was able to stave off the comeback attempt.

PSAC West Division Athlete of the Year, Jacobo Diaz (6'9''-F-96), notched a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds.

The NCAA DII Selection Show will take place at 10:30 PM Sunday.
