Rustin Dowd's game-high 24 points were not enough as MNU fell to #19 Park 73-61 on Saturday. The Pioneers played right with the Pirates for most of the first half, but an 11-2 run gave Park a 9-point lead they would not relinquish. The Pirates featured a half court trap defense which contributed to 26 MNU turnovers, and the young Pioneers were unable to move the ball effectively. The lead increased to 14 midway through the second half, and the Pioneers weren't able to chip away.
Dowd had 24 points on 10-12 shooting, 3 assists, and 2 steals. And
Keith McCullough had 12 points, 3 assists, and 4 rebounds.
The Pioneers are 1-1. The next game is Tuesday the 9th vs. Ottawa (0-1) at 8:00.
