As a team, the Dutchmen went 24-of-37 from the free throw line, while the Jays shot 5-of-14 at the line. The Blue Jays won the battle of the boards by a 44-39 margin, but turned the ball over 17 times to the Dutchmen's 10.
E-town was paced on the offensive side by Keith Fogel's 14 points and Kyle McConnell, who added 11 of his own. Junior Dan Silver grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds for the Blue Jays on the night.
Before the game, E-town's six seniors, Fogel, Joe Flanagan, Brady Haughney, Mark Vogel, Matt Brown and Bryan Harrity, were recognized with a senior night ceremony.
On Saturday, the Blue Jays will travel to Glenside, Pa. to take on the Arcadia Knights. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m.
If E-town wins Saturday, they are guaranteed a spot in the Commonwealth Conference playoffs, with the semifinals set for Feb. 23. The Blue Jays still have a shot of wrapping up the three or four seed, with the top four teams making the tournament.
