(Originally posted Wed. at 11:00 p.m, links added at 7:23 a.m.)
All good things must come to an end. For the Penn Quakers, two of those things came to and end Wednesday night in Easton.

With six players scoring in double figures, including all five starters, Lafayette handed the Quakers an 81-69 defeat, ending Penn's 280game win streak against Patriot League teams. The win, just Lafayette's fourth in 41 games all time against the Quakers, also ended a streak of eight straight Penn wins over the Leopards

Andrew brown led Lafayette with 15 points. Bilal Abdullah added 14 off the bench. Michael Gruner had 13, Paul Cummins 12 and Everset Schmidt and Matt Betley 10 each for the 'Pards (4-2), who shot 52.6 percent (30-57) from the field, including 11 threes on 28 attempts.

The win was number 175 of his career for Lafayette coach Fran O'Hanlon, who is now an even 175-175 in 12 seasons at Lafayette.
