BRADFORD, Pa. – The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford men's basketball team fell to Penn State-Altoona, 107-80, in its home finale at the KOA Arena Wednesday night in an Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference game. 

"We took a step back tonight in terms of our defense, ball handling and ball move," Head Coach Sean Brown Sr. said. "We have to learn how to refocus after coming off an emotional win. I have to do a better job if getting my guys to refocus, reenergize and get ready after big wins as well as big losses."

Christian Kelly-Perkins led all scorers with a career-high 32 points.

Dylan Mitchell scored 16 points and Reggie Rogers dropped 10 to also score in double-figures.

While the Panthers shot a strong 47.1 percent in the second half, the Lions made 24 of their 33 attempts for a 72.7 percent from the floor.
