WEST HAVEN, Conn. (AP) Dominick Stewart scored 18 points and made six 3-pointers, Kayden Mingo had 16 points, six rebounds and six assists, and Penn State Nittany Lions went on the road to beat New Haven Chargers 87-43 on Saturday.
Penn State trailed 10-9 after the opening eight minutes before scoring the next 11 points to pull away - with two 3-pointers by Stewart and another from Mingo. The Nittany Lions led 41-21 at the break.
Penn State's opening three baskets of the second half came from behind the arc and the fourth 3-pointer made it 55-28 with 14:59 remaining. The Nittany Lions finished 11 of 25 from 3-point range.
Josh Reed added 14 points and Freddie Dilione V scored 11 for Penn State (2-0), which started a season 2-0 for the fourth straight year.
Jabri Fitzpatrick scored 14 points for New Haven. The Chargers are in their first season in Division I after playing in Division II’s Northeast-10 Conference.
Penn State returned just 14.6% of points, 11% percent of rebounds, 12.5% of assists from last season in its three returners - Dilione, Eli Rice and Stewart.
Penn State opened the season with a 76-68 win over Fairfield, which led 66-60 with 3:45 to play. But the Nittany Lions closed the game on a 16-2 run, including the game’s final 11 points.
