| 11.1.04 - The Foresters
opened their season on the road against NCAA Division I IPFW and came up
short on their upset bid losing 87-77 to the Mastodons. HC was quick
out of the gate, jumping out to a 10-2 lead three minutes into the game, but
IPFW countered with an 18-0 run over the next five minutes to go up 20-10.
The Foresters battled back within one at 28-27, but back-to-back turnovers
that resulted in two IPFW treys gave the momentum back to the Mastodons.
The seesaw first half came to a close with HC down five at 42-37. In
the second half, the Foresters kept within striking distance and tied the
score at 73-73 on a 3-pointer by Alex Kock with 3:07 left in the game, but it
was IPFW's defense down the stretch that was the difference in the game.
With the score knotted at 73, the Mastodons forced HC into three turnovers in
their next four possessions and allowed no field goals and just four free
throws to seal the win. For the game, the Foresters committed 22
turnovers which led to 23 points for the Mastodons. IPFW's Quintin
Butler led all scorers in the game with 25 points on 10 of 14 shooting and
grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds. Chase Verba and Doug Sheckler each
scored 19 to lead HC. Steve Snider and Alex Kock added 13 apiece.
The loss gives the men a 0-1 record to start the season.
