Men Suffer Tough Loss
Drew scored a rare four-point play in the closing seconds to hand the Muhlenberg mens basketball team a 55-54 home loss. The Mules (1-2) took a 52-51 lead into the final minute when senior Chris Huber hit a three-pointer with the shot clock winding down. After a Ranger miss, senior Tom Scott hit two free throws with 27 second left to increase the lead to three. Drew missed two three-pointers on its next possession, but got the offensive rebound both times and was fouled after the second. Ranger guard Damon DiLorenzo made the first free throw, then missed the second, ran down the rebound and hit a three-pointer from the corner with 4.5 seconds left. Muhlenberg could not get off a potential game-winning shot. Senior Jimmie Riggins scored a career-high 16 points, and Huber also finished with 16. |
