St. Bonaventure men’s basketball opened its season with a loss. Youngstown State beat the Bonnies 79-71 at the Reilly Center. The Bonnies led by four at the half, but the Penguins outscored them forty-seven to thirty-five after the break.
Zach Philipkoski scored a game-high twenty-eight in his Division One debut, including eleven straight in a rally that gave Bonaventure a late lead. Benjamin Bill had 15 points and 9 rebounds. But the Bonnies were outrebounded 47-38 and missed twelve free throws.
The Bonnies visit Canisius Saturday at seven.
