PLYMOUTH, NH – Senior Eli Swanson (Inter-Lakes/Holderness School) poured in a game-high 18 points to lead Plymouth State to a come-from-behind 70-65 victory over visiting UMass Dartmouth on Wednesday night at Foley Gymnasium.
In the Little East Conference opener for both squads, the Panthers stumbled out of the gates as they spotted the Corsairs 12 points and trailed 12-0 just over four minutes into the game.
PSU clawed its way back and a back-and-forth affair ensued with 15 lead changes. Plymouth took the lead for good with just over five minutes left in the game and hung on for the victory.
With the win, the Panthers improve to 6-1 (1-0 LEC) on the season, while UMD falls to 2-4 (0-1).
Torran Bosworth and Ivan Yen (Concord) both added double figures for PSU with 11 and 10 points, respectively.
Next up, Plymouth hosts Western Connecticut State on Saturday at 2:00 PM.
