G Jordan Redditt had nine points for the Scots while G Brandon Binkley led Alma with four assists.

Head Coach Terry Smith played 13 players in the game as he is in the early stages of his evaluation of what exactly he has for the 2008-09 season. After the Tech game, Alma will play Northern Michigan on Saturday afternoon.

The next home game for the Scots is November 25 against Concordia College, beginning at 5:00 p.m. at Cappaert Gymnasium.
