Men's Basketball Suffers Defeat, Bounces Back With Overtime Win
The Warriors had an exciting week of MCCC conference play. Taking on a tough opponent in the #5 ranked Ozark Ambassadors, the Warriors fell 59-80. Samuel Entz led the team in scoring with 12 points, followed by Matthew Hammonds with 10.
Despite the tough loss, the men bounced back to win an incredible overtime battle against the Barclay Bears which was won with a crazy last second shot by Ryan Ulrichs. Barclay was defeated 68-67, with Matthew Hammonds scoring 21 and Nathan Ulrichs scoring 12.
On the heels of this incredible victory, the Warriors took on a third conference opponent -- the Manhattan Thunder, another ranked opponent (#8). Although they fought hard, the Warriors lost to the Thunder 48-82.
The Warriors are now 6-11 on the season, going 2-4 in conference play. They will go on the road this weekend to face two more conference opponents in Iowa: the Emmaus University Eagles and the Faith Baptist Bible College Eagles.
