    MIDDLETOWN, Pa.- Penn State Harrisburg’s men’s basketball team accomplished more in its 2011-2012 campaign than it had in any season since re-forming the program in the fall of 2005. The Lions won a school-record 20 games, including non-conference victories over some of the best competition in the mid-state area, and clinched their first ever North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) South Division title. Unfortunately, the Lions fell just short of achieving their number one goal: winning the NEAC championship tournament and earning an automatic bid to the NCAA’s Division III tournament.

Playing 250 miles from home, without the services of starting forward Dave Reisinger (Harrisburg, PA/Central Dauphin East) and trailing by as many as 14 points, the Lions rallied to down the Express in a rematch of last year’s conference championship game.
