Gannon also lost for the first time at home this season after winning their first 10 games at the Highmark Events Center.
 
The Knights also saw their 10-game winning streak in the PSAC West come to a halt, but the Golden Knights remained alone in first place because second-place Pitt-Johnstown lost to Edinboro on Wednesday.
