(Rice Lake) Trevor Krizenesky scored 12 of his game high 15 points in the second half to lead UW-Fox to a 69-67 come from behind victory over UW-Barron on Saturday. His runner along the baseline gave the Cyclones their first lead of the second half at 51-50.
UW-Fox made 7 of their 16 first half 3-point field goals, good for 44%. However, 14 turnovers negated the shooting success and had the Cyclones down 29-35 at the half.
It was the Cyclones fourth game in 6 days, and it showed on the defensive end in the opening half. UW-Fox lacked the tenacity and execution on defense that had marked their last 7 victories.
Down 31-41 UW-Fox guard Jon Braeger hit a 3-point basket to start a 22-9 Cyclone run. Krizenesky and Trevor Smith would account for the next 19 UW-Fox points, with Krizenesky scoring 10 straight.
The Cyclones would build their lead to 68-60 and hold off a late UW-Barron rally. The Chargers cut the lead to 2 with :03 seconds remaining on an offensive rebound put back, but the Cyclones safely inbounded and dribbled out the clock to seal the win.
Smith grabbed a team high 6 rebounds to go with 13 points. Cameron Schaefer provided a big lift off the bench for UW-Fox with 12 points. He and Jordan Kaufman also helped energize the Cyclone defense in the second half. Braeger finished with 11 points and DJ Rhodes 10 for the visiting Cyclones.
UW-Fox (18-3, 8-2) returns home on Monday night for their final regular season home game, a 7:30pm tip-off against UW-Washington. The UW-Fox Student Association will be sponsoring a $10,000 half-court shot at halftime. The Cyclones will also honor 2nd year player Trevor Smith and his parents before the game.
