SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – Host Slippery Rock proved too much for the Bloomsburg University men's basketball team on Wednesday night at Morrow Field House as The Rock prevailed for an 82-55 victory in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference crossover action.

An early 3-pointer from Alex Prislupsky (Olyphant/Mid-Valley) gave the Huskies a 7-5 lead less than two minutes in, and the teams were tied at 10-apiece with 16:34 left in the first half when Slippery Rock went on a run to seize control.

In all, 10 Huskies players worked their way into the scoring column and all 14 players on the active roster saw playing time.
