Cyclones Win Claim Title

(Fond du Lac) Sam Schreiber connected on back to back 3-point field goals to open the second half.  The quick 6 point burst pushed a 40-35 UW-Fox halftime edge into a double digit lead the Cyclones would maintain throughout the second half in posting an 87-69 WCC-East victory over UW-Fond du Lac in the Cyclones final regular season game.

The win earns UW-Fox their 3rd straight WCC-East championship in men's basketball.  They finish the regular season 20-3 overall, 10-2 in conference play. 

The Cyclones shot a season best 65% from the field in the second half including 7 of 11 from three-point range.  For the game UW-Fox shot 58% overall.  Also key in the second half for UW-Fox was shoring up its defense, which held the Falcons to 37% shooting after halftime.  

Trevor Krizenesky led UW-Fox with 22 points, 17 of those coming in the first half when the rest of the Cyclones struggled.  He also handed out 6 assists.  DJ Rhodes came up big in the second half and finished with 19 points.  Schreiber finished with 12 points and Jon Schlaver 10 to help lead the UW-Fox offense. 

UW-Fox will have a bye in the first round of the WCC-East tournament.  They will host either UW-Sheboygan or UW-Marinette in a WCC Tournament quarterfinal game on Wednesday February 20th at 7pm.
