MOORHEAD, Minn. – The St. Cloud State University men's basketball team looked to keep its win streak alive when the team traveled to Moorhead, Minnesota on Friday.

GAME SUMMARY
St. Cloud State was playing shorthanded Friday evening, as the Huskies were down a big man, due to an injury to Josh Tomasi (Melbourne, Australia / Box Hill).

Anthony Roberts (Chicago, Ill. / Oak Park) led the Huskies scoring efforts with eight first half points.
St. Cloud State outscored itself in the second half, scoring 38 points to keep pace with MSU-Moorhead's offense. The 25 point deficit, though, was too much to overcome, as the Huskies fell to the Dragons by a final score of 97-63.
