Wagner connected on 5 of 9 shots from the floor and was 4 of 7 from three-point range for the Storm, who shot 50 percent (8 of 16) on '3s' in the loss.

Junior Tyler Hixson (Shortsville, NY/Red Jacket) added 13 points on 6 of 11 shooting and also snared seven rebounds while sophomore Casey Williams (Syracuse, NY/Jamesville-DeWitt) added 11 points with four rebounds for Keuka.

Abington (6-4, 3-1 NEAC) was led by Avery Barnes, who scored 21 points with 10 rebounds, Mike Marvin, who scored 19 points with 10 rebounds, and Nisiar Smith, who had 16 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals.

The Nittany Lions converted on 31 of their 41 free throws (75.6 percent), while Keuka made 12 of its 20 free throws (60 percent).

Trailing 27-17, sophomore Miles Boyer (East Rochester, NY/East Rochester) hit a layup, Healey hit a pair of free throws and made a layup as the Storm went into halftime trailing 29-23.

The lead swelled to 40-27 before Williams sparked an 8-0 run with a layup five minutes into the second half.

Hixson hit a layup to trim the deficit to 41-37 and Wagner knocked down a jumper and a '3' to pull the Storm within 55-50 with 6:01 remaining, but Keuka trailed by at least five points the rest of the game and couldn't complete the comeback.
