Cyclones Top Huskies

In a defensive struggle on Friday night the UW-Fox men’s basketball team battled its way to a 67-57 win over UW-Marathon.  Neither team shot the ball well from the field, but the Cyclones managed to make 19/27 free-throws (70.4%) and force UW-Marathon into 18 turnovers to aid in the victory.

Down 25-26 at the half, UW-Fox outscored the Huskies 12-7 over the first 5 minutes of the second half to take a 37-33 lead.  The Huskies would tie the game on several occasions, but never get the lead.  Marcus Jensen scored all 11 of his points in the second half to spark the Cyclones.

Jon Braeger led UW-Fox with 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists.  Jensen also grabbed 8 rebounds to lead in that category.  Riley Van Asten scored 8 key points off the bench, including two first half 3-point field goals, that kept the Cyclones in the game.  Jose Elijah chipped in 8 points and 6 rebounds to go along with his stellar defense.

UW-Fox moves to 3-1 overall on the season.  They will host undefeated UW-Marinette (5-0) in a key WCC-East match up on Monday night.  Tip-off is set for 7:30pm.
