- The 3rd-ranked Foresters defeated 22nd-ranked University of St. Francis
85-69 to remain unbeaten in conference play. After trailing the Cougars
for the first six minutes of the game, the Foresters used a Jared Yoder
3-pointer to key an 11-0 run, giving them a lead they would never lose.
HC built a 30-16 advantage, but St. Francis closed to within 39-31 at the
break. The Cougars continued their charge at the start of the second
half quickly narrowing the Foresters' lead to one at 39-38 just a minute and
a half into the period. St. Francis kept the pressure on, but HC
remained in the lead. At the midway point of the half, the Foresters
were still clinging to a 50-49 lead when HC's Alex Kock got hot. After
hitting one of two free throws, Kock knocked down three consecutive treys to
open up a nine-point Forester lead. A layup by Seth Lochmueller on HC's
next possession gave the Foresters a double digit advantage that they would
maintain the rest of the way. Kock lead all scorers in the game with 27
points on 10-12 shooting from the field and 5-7 from behind the arc.
Yoder hit four from downtown on his way to 16 points off the bench.
Kyle Ganton added 14 and Steve Snider chipped in 12 points and a game-high
nine rebounds. St. Francis was led by Virgil Akers with 16 points and
six rebounds. The win gives the Foresters an 8-4 record overall and a
2-0 mark in the conference.
