Prosser Dominates as Gannon Captures First Division II Title in Rout
Gannon University made history Sunday night, securing its first-ever NCAA Division II basketball championship with a commanding 84-61 win over Lander. The victory was fueled by a standout performance from Pace Prosser, whose offensive and defensive prowess proved pivotal in the title game. Prosser, the star forward for Gannon, finished with 28 points and 11 rebounds, leading his team in both categories. His dominance on the court was evident from the opening tip, as he consistently found ways to score and control the boards. Gannon's offense flowed through Prosser, and his contributions allowed the Golden Knights to maintain a comfortable lead throughout the contest.
  • Prosser's 28 points were a game-high, eclipsing any individual performance from Lander.
  • His 11 rebounds helped Gannon control the tempo and limit Lander's second-chance opportunities.
  • The 84-61 final score marked one of the largest margins of victory in recent Division II title games.
The win capped off a remarkable tournament run for Gannon, who had never before reached the championship stage. Their journey was marked by resilience and teamwork, but it was Prosser's big night that ultimately sealed the deal. Lander, despite entering the game with momentum, struggled to contain Gannon's high-powered offense and could not find answers for Prosser in the paint. With this victory, Gannon clinched its first NCAA Division II championship, an achievement that will resonate throughout the program's history. The Golden Knights now join the ranks of title winners, and Prosser's performance will be remembered as one of the defining moments of their ascent.
