Box Score

Huskies outshot 57%-40% from the field in 77-69 loss at Winona State

WINONA, Minn. – St. Cloud State Men's Basketball (8-12 overall, 4-10 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference) dropped its third consecutive conference game, 77-69, to Winona State on Saturday at McCown Gymnasium.

SCSU went into the break down 10 after the buzzer beating three-pointer made by graduate student Luke Taylor (Germantown, Wis.) was reviewed and reversed because he did not get it off in time. The Warriors (12-8, 7-7 NSIC) shot a blazing 27-of-47 (57.4%) from the field for the game including 13-of-19 (68.4%) in the second half, but the Huskies were able to remain in striking distance because WSU only made 13-of-22 (59.1%) of its free throws in the second half and impressively, the Huskies did not miss from the charity stripe the entire game (16-of-16), setting a new school record for most free throws made in a game by a team without a miss.

TOP HUSKIES

Freshman Lucas Morgan (Sydney, Australia) scored a team-high 16 points on 5-of-10 shooting from the field and 2-of-4 from three and grabbed nine rebounds nearly tallying a double-double. He made all four of his free throw attempts.
Freshman Nate Dahl (Buffalo, Minn.) scored 10 points and grabbed nine rebounds. He made all eight of his free throw attempts.
Freshman Wyatt Hawks (White Bear Lake, Minn.) scored 10 points on 5-of-10 shooting and grabbed three rebounds.
