The SCTCC men's basketball team has had a busy week of game action. Sunday's game against the Mayville State University Comets marked the 3rd game in 5 days for the Cyclones. So far this young season the team has met each challenge, and on this afternoon the result again ended in SCTCC's favor with a 85-78 win.
Both teams were coming off of a game the previous day, so fatigue was a factor going in. However the Cyclones used their depth to wear down the Comets throughout the game. Mayville played very hard throughout, but SCTCC kept the pressure on and withstood some hot shooting from the opponent. The Comets were able to hit 12 three pointers in all, including 4 from back-up guard Josh DeWitt.
Four Cyclones were able to find double figures in the scoring column. SCTCC was led by sophomore Riley West (Lakeville, MN) with a season high 28 points, followed by Jared Noonan (Richfield, MN) with 15, Felipe Villalaz (Sauk Rapids, MN) 12, and Lucas Rynda (New Prague, MN) with 10. A trio of Cyclones helped the home team control the glass; Noonan, Villalaz, and Rynda all hauled in 6 rebounds a piece allowing the team to a 44-32 advantage.
Game State vs Mayville
The win moves SCTCC to 5-0 on the season. The team will have the next 8 days away from game competition. The Cyclones will resume November 26 on the road at St. John's and November 27 back at home vs Itasca.
