American sweeps its season series with Lafayette, winning in Easton, 77-67, in a preview of Friday's No. 4 vs. No. 5 game.

Andre Ingram with the kind of game American has been waiting all season for him to have, 7 treys en route to 26 points. His first three-pointer, at the 19:22 mark of the first half, made it 3-0 AU and the Eagles never trailed. American led by six at the half and opened the second half with an 8-1 run. Lafayette never got closer than 6 the rest of the way.

Arvydas Eitutavicius (10) and Brayden Billbe (13) also in double figures for American, which shot 51 percent from the field.

Lafayette shot 21 of 64 (32.8 percent) from the field, 8 for 33 from three-point range. Bilal Abdullah had five of the Leopards' treys, finishing with 21 points. Andrei Capusan added 17.

No. 4 seed American gets to wear the home white uniforms when these two meet in the first round in Lewisburg.
