In their NEAC season opener on Wednesday at Lancaster Bible College, the Wildcats lost, 114-86. Tyree Vidal, of Williamsport, led Penn College with 11 points and Jesse White, of Harrisburg, was tops with 14 rebounds and chipped in with 10 points. Lancaster Bible scored 72 points in the paint and Penn College 40.
In conference play on Saturday at Bryn Athyn, Penn College lost, 111-85. Bryn Athyn scored 74 points in the paint to 22 for Penn College. Zach Tocyloski, of Mount Carmel, led four Penn College players in double figures with 12 points.

In the Nov. 26 loss (122-111) at Penn State Lehigh Valley, for which statistics weren’t available until this past week, Eichinger led seven Penn College players in double figures with 16 points.
Also last week, senior team captain Thomas Ross, of Williamsport, was selected as a nominee for the 2017 Allstate NABC Good Works Team. The team recognizes players at all levels of college basketball whose charitable involvement and altruistic acts stand out among all other student-athletes participating in the sport. Ross, the only representative from the North Eastern Athletic Conference, joins 180 men's basketball players from around the country.
"Tom has been a great example to our team on how to conduct yourself in the classroom, in the community and on the court," Penn College coach Ryan Callahan said. "His participation in community service events has been very rewarding for him and has set the bar for our team to emulate."
Ross is a member of Penn College's Student Athlete Advisory Committee and has volunteered for several community initiatives. Ross participated in both the Alzheimer's 5K and Suicide Prevention walk, helped clean up the Susquehanna Riverwalk, volunteered during Welcome Weekend to assist incoming students moving into campus housing, and is coordinating the Martin Luther King Day men's basketball volunteer day at Firetree Place.
Two voting panels will select 10-member teams from both the NABC and WBCA, comprised of five student-athletes from the NCAA Division I level and five student-athletes from Divisions II, III and the NAIA. The final roster of 20 award recipients will be unveiled in February.
