December 29, 2007

Alma, Mi. - The Alma College Men's Basketball team (0-8) faced off against Purdue University Calumet (2-11) in the consolation game of the Alma College Winter Break Tournament and came away with a disappointing 47-58 loss.

The Scots looked solid in spots but could not over come a 19 point first half that saw them shoot 26 percent from the field and go into the break trailing by eight. The Scots shot better in the second half showed better offensive production but simply could not close the gap, eventually falling by 11 points.

Leading the way for the Scots was freshman Ted DeYoung (Grand Rapids/Northview) who was active on the boards all game, pulling in five offensive rebounds and scoring 10 points for the Scots. Senior Josh Shattuck (Spring Lake) also played solid for the Scots, hitting three three point field goals and grabbing two boards. Freshman Jordan Redditt (Detroit) added seven points and three assists and junior Matt Brown (Midland) contributed six points and five rebounds along with his physical presence in the paint.
