The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins will return from three straight American Hockey League road games to play three home games in four days beginning Thursday.

The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Steamers are home this afternoon, beginning one of their two busiest stretches of the Premier Basketball League season.

The Steamers play at Dayton Wednesday at 7:05, are home Friday at 7:05 against the Lake Michigan Admirals and travel to Rochester to face the RazorSharks Saturday at 1:05 p.m.

In their most recent outing, the Steamers (4-4) suffered the worst loss of their inaugural season Feb. 11 in Rochester. The defending champion RazorSharks (8-1) handled the Steamers, 110-88.

Lionel Armstead, a former West Virginia University guard, had a team-high 14 points in his second game with the Steamers.

Lackawanna Trail graduate Keith Gavin went 2-2 Feb. 11 to finish seventh at 185 pounds in the Yasar Dogu International freestyle wrestling tournament in Ankara, Turkey.

Becky Burke tied one University of Louisville school record while leading the Cardinals to setting another during an 89-62 women’s basketball victory over Syracuse University Feb. 11.

Louisville hit a record 18 3-pointers in the game.

Burke followed up that effort by scoring 15 points and hitting a pair of free throws with 15 seconds left in overtime to clinch a 71-66 victory over Pittsburgh for 19th-ranked Louisville Tuesday.
