AU Men's Basketball got an explosive offensive output from an unlikely source during this weekend's home stand: second-year junior forward Raimondas Petrauskas. The Lithuanian forward, who averaged only 6.3 points per game before the games, scored a career-high 24 points in a 60-46 win over Army Sunday to surpass his previous mark of 16 points tallied in an 86-83 overtime loss Friday to Lafayette (16-4, 7-0 Patriot League) that kept the Eagles (11-10, 5-2) out of first place.
