HOW IT HAPPENED
- MSOE (6-9, 4-5 NACC) got off to a hot start this evening, outscoring St. Norbert (12-5, 9-1 NACC) 17-12 in the first quarter and assembled a ten-point lead early on in the second frame.
- Unfortunately, they also had their worst shooting period in the second making just three field goals as their advantage turned into a four-point halftime deficit.
- The Red & White got back within two in the third, but a 12-3 Green Knights run put them in a hole they couldn't climb out of.
- The Raiders shot 39.5 percent from the field and 38.9 percent from downtown but headed back to Milwaukee with a 19-point loss.
RAIDER REMARKS
- This was the first meeting between the two teams since December of 2006. St. Norbert won that game 72-48 and now owns a 1-0 record against the Raiders in NACC play.
