(Box
Score)
Duluth, Minn. - The Presentation
College Saints were out-shot by a 40-to-31
percent margin, and made 18 fewer trips to
the free-throw stripe in the second half, as
they fell 58-45 to St. Scholastica Saturday
night. The Saints from Duluth made 11 of
their 16 second-half free-throw chances,
while Presentation did not even make one
appearance at the charity stripe in the
final 20 minutes of the game.
After jumping out to a pair of early five-point leads, Presentation
would end up finishing the first half
trailing by four at 28-24. Scholastica then
opened the second half on an 11-2 run to
expand the margin to 13 before Presentation
would break the string. PC would fight
throughout the remainder of the second half
to get back in the game, but were unable to
bring the contest to a one-possession mark
the rest of the way.
Presentation was led offensively in the contest by Eric May,
who scored a team-high 10 points after
coming off the bench. Scholastica's Troy
Miller scored 15 points to lead all scorers,
while his teammate Danny Schmitz hit for 13.
With the loss, Presentation falls to 7-13 on the season, and 4-6 in
the UMAC, leaving them tied with Bethany
Lutheran for fifth place in the league. The
Saints will take on Bethany on Friday night
in Aberdeen, with tip-off scheduled for 7:30
p.m. in the Strode Center. All of the action
