- The Foresters rallied from a three-point half-time deficit to rout
the Bethel College Pilots 83-66. The win gives the 8th-ranked
Foresters a 7-1record in the MCC and sole ownership of first place
at the mid-point of the conference schedule. HC jumped out to
an early lead and had a nine-point advantage at 23-14 midway through
the first half, but Bethel used its defense to fight back and take a
36-33 lead at the break. Having re-focused in the locker room,
the Foresters emerged and took command of the game with a 30-4 run
over the first eight minutes. During the stretch, HC scored on
each of its 14 possessions by hitting its first attempt or
rebounding each miss and scoring on second chance points. Alex
Kock scored 14 of his game and career-high 36 points to lead the
Forester blitz. The Pilots made one last run at HC to get back
within nine at 75-66 with 1:51 to play, but Kock scored six of the
Foresters' final eight points, including 4-4 from the line to keep
the Pilots at bay. Joining Kock in double figures for HC was
Kyle Ganton with 15, and Chase Verba and Steve Snider each with 10.
Kock also grabbed a game-high nine rebounds. Adrick Hills had
16 to lead the Pilots. With the win, the men improve to 15-6
on the season.
