GETTYSBURG, Pa. - The Dickinson men's basketball team got a game-high 22 points from senior
David Petrusev, but it was not enough on the night as the Red and White were unable to dig out of a 43-25 halftime deficit falling by a score of 74-52 to the Gettysburg College Bullets in Centennial Conference action at Bream Gymnasium on Wednesday.
- Dickinson used the first four minutes to grab a slim 7-6 edge on layups by Isaiah Edmond and Petrusev along with a triple for Brandon Wiercinski.

- The duo of Cole Cosby and Petrusev tried to keep DC within striking distance at 29-18 at the 13:36 mark.
- A three-ball out of the hands of Edmond would be the lone Dickinson bucket as Gettysburg claimed seven of the next ten points to leave the score at 36-21 inside of four minutes left.
- Ryan Leskauskas knocked down a jumper to slow the Bullets charge for a second, but the home team racked up seven of the ensuing nine points to take a 43-25 advantage to the break.
- Dickinson was stroking their shots early in the period hitting four of their first six shots from the floor. However, they were not able to make a big dent as a trey for Wiercinski left the score at 50-35.
- The group of RJ Bennett, Aidan Mess, Jordan Stafford and Schaller grabbed seven of the next nine to extend their lead to 57-37 with 13:04 to play.
- Four by Petrusev and two each from Matt Mahoney and Edmond got DC to within 63-45 at the halfway point of the frame.
