Senior Trevor Healey (Wethersfield, Conn./Wethersfield) scored 15 points with seven rebounds to become just the 11th student-athlete in the history of Keuka College's men's basketball team with 1,000 career points during Sunday's 89-54 win over Penn College inside the Weed Physical Arts Center.

Senior Adam Starks (Wellsville, N.Y./Andover) added a career-high 18 points while making every shot he took, going 6-for-6 from the field, 4-for-4 on '3s' and 2-for-2 on free throws to spark the Wolfpack (12-8, 9-5) to its most wins in a season since the 2006-07 squad went 13-13.

Healey, a two-time All-North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) forward, etched his name into the record books by hitting a reverse layup with 16:46 remaining to join the 1,000-point club at Keuka College.

The game was stopped, and Healey was honored for his accomplishments before the crowd of 325. He was presented with a commemorative game ball to mark the occasion.

"I just wanted to go out, have a good game and get a win on Senior Day with all my teammates, and also score my 1,000^th point," said Healey, who now has scored 1,005 points in 80 games (12.6 points per game).

"This is very special and I'm very blessed to have been able to play here for four years, and also to accomplish something that only 10 other people have done. It's awesome and I owe it all to my teammates, my coach (Thad Phillips) and my family for putting me in a position to be able to do this."

On his historic basket, Starks got the ball on a reverse against a zone defense, and Healey urged Starks, who was red-hot shooting the ball, to put up a shot.

Instead, Starks found Healey wide open in the short corner, Healey dribbled baseline and hit the reverse layup, prompting a two-minute ovation from the crowd.

"You could feel the emotion in the building if I took a shot and didn't make it when I was getting close to the mark," Healey said after recording his 18th game scoring in double-figures in 19 contests this year.

"I was obviously a little nervous and it was definitely on my mind, but my teammates and my coach were just telling me to play my game and you will get this. Just the fact that we got a big win at home in front of our family and friends, and we're on our way to getting into the NEAC tournament, this was a great, exciting win today."

With four conference games remaining, Keuka sits in second place in the NEAC North, one-and-a-half games behind SUNY Cobleskill (13-10, 11-4). The top three teams from each division advance into the NEAC postseason tournament, Feb. 28-March 1.

Keuka holds a half-game lead over Cazenovia College (11-12, 9-6) and SUNY Polytechnic (10-13, 9-6) in the NEAC North.

The Wolfpack host Cazenovia at 8 p.m. in the home finale before closing out the regular-season with road games against SUNY Poly (8 p.m. Friday) and SUNY Cobleskill (3 p.m. Saturday).

Against Penn College, senior Tyler Hixson (Shortsville, N.Y./Red Jacket) recorded 12 points with 3 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 assists, and junior Casey Williams (Syracuse, N.Y./Jamesville-DeWitt) added 10 points with 6 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals.

Senior Jared Wagner (Pittsford, N.Y./McQuaid) scored nine points (all on '3's) with six rebounds, and freshman Josh Wahnon (Staten Island, N.Y./Port Richmond) added a career-high eight points as Keuka shot 46.8 percent from the floor (29 of 62).

Starks was 4-for-4 on '3s', while Wagner finished 3-for-6, Wahnon was 2-for-2 and Williams was 2-for-3. The Wolfpack shot 61.9 percent from three-point land (13 of 21) in knocking off the Wildcats (3-19, 2-13).

"We were in our shoot-around and I was just really feeling it today, so I told coach 'I'm just going to throw it up today and do my best'," Starks said.

"Thankfully, I was able to shoot really well today. Any shooter will tell you when you hit that first shot, everything will fall for you after that. We played really well in front of the home crowd, and my fellow senior Trevor Healey gets his 1,000th career point. It was a great atmosphere. We were a little bit nervous before the game, but I think that really helped us, it gave us an extra edge to play a little bit harder."

Freshman Dylan Doupe (Phoenix, N.Y./John C. Birdlebough) snared five rebounds as Keuka enjoyed a 47-31 edge on the glass.

Hixson and Starks each hit two layups as Keuka jumped out to an 8-3 lead, but Penn College scored the next four points and trailed 8-7.

After Wagner hit his first '3', Bryce Lonsway (17 points) hit a triple to slice the lead to 11-10, but the Wolfpack responded with a 17-0 run to put away Penn.

Junior Vinney Zambito (Elba, N.Y./Batavia Notre Dame) buried a '3' and Healey converted a three-point play for a 17-10 lead with 11:44 remaining in the first. Starks added two free throws and swished consecutive '3s' for a 25-10 lead.

Junior Miles Boyer (East Rochester, N.Y./East Rochester) added a free throw and Healey sunk a pair at the line for a 28-10 lead with 8:46 remaining.

Keuka led by at least 15 points for the rest of the half and took a 45-25 lead into halftime.

The Wolfpack maintained at least a 15-point lead for the rest of the game and led by as many as 36 points in improving to 7-2 at home.
