FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Jarred Godfrey scored a season-high 33 points, but Purdue Fort Wayne men’s basketball fell to the league-leading Youngstown State Penguins 81-72 at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum on Friday (Feb. 10) evening.

From there, YSU went to its best player in Dwayne Cohill, who scored four in a row to put it out of reach. Cohill matched Godfrey, scoring 33 of his own. The Penguins shot 63.0 percent from the floor in the second half.
