Men's Basketball Can't Keep Up, Fall to Rio Grande 49-70

SAINT MARY-OF-THE-WOODS, Ind. – The SMWC Men's Basketball team (2-18, 0-10) battled Rio Grande (12-10, 6-4) last night but despite the team's grit couldn't keep up  in the 2nd half and would fall 49-70. Newcomer Dakota Sampson would continue to impress as he would finish the night with 13 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 blocks. The team continues to search for it's first RSC win in their inaugural season. 
Game Summary
 
1st Half: The team fought hard right out of the gate, working their way to a 12-8 lead early and holding that lead midway through the 1st half. Rio Grande would find ways to fight harder and start to chip away at the Pomeroy lead. Turnovers would be a problem throughout the game as SMWC gave the ball away 0 times. The Red Storm capped off the 1st half on an 8-2 run to lead 39-26. 
 
2nd Half: SMWC came out of the half down but definitely not out with a manageable 13-point deficit. Neither side could get going until 3 minutes in. SMWC cut the Red Storm lead to 9 but would still struggle to get good looks and continuing to turn the ball over. Rio Grande would start to run away with this one and win 70-49 to hand SMWC their 18th loss of the season.
By the Numbers
  • Sampson and Jadyn McHugh would lead the team with 13 points each followed by Robert DeSilvia with 7. 
  • The team only managed 26 rebounds on the night with Elkin Ramirez accounting for 5 and three others pulling down 4 apiece.
  • Both teams struggled at the free throw line as the Pomeroys would shoot just over 53% to Rio Grande's 58.3%. 
  • The Pomeroys were stifled in their 3-point opportunities and only able to muster 3-7 shooting on the night.
  • The Red Storm would walk away with three technical fouls on the night for flopping and language.
