Men’s basketball comes up short on Senior Day

• The second half was more of the same, despite the best efforts of Brush and Shannon, who finished with 17 and 22 points, respectively.
• In the end, the Scots couldn’t stifle the Pipers’ high-scoring offense, losing 90-70.

 Softball drops two against Wisconsin-Eau Claire

• They came out firing in game one, taking a 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning. The Blugolds responded quickly, tying the game in the bottom of the inning. The Scots kept fighting, and an Alli Johnson ’27 homer in the fourth inning gave the team a 5-4 lead. Unfortunately, the Blugolds plated 8 runs in the fifth inning to put the game out of reach. The final score was 12-5.
