Benedictine Loss Drops Vikings to 3-6
CHICAGO, IL (December 20, 2004) - Lamar Townsend scored 14 points, but the
North Park University (NPU) men's basketball team dropped a 73-50
decision to Benedictine University last Saturday night at the North Park
Gymnasium.
The Vikings, 3-6 in nonleague games heading into Christmas break,
trailed 42-27 at halftime to the visiting Eagles (7-2), ranked 23rd in
the most recent NCAA Division III's www.d3hoops.com national poll. They
never recovered despite the work of reserves Mike Peterson (5 of 9 field
goal shooting), Je'Shawn Stevenson and Steve Reynolds.
Peterson had 12 points, Stevenson had nine and Reynolds (who is from
Southwest Covenant Church in Lockport, Illinois) added four points in 14
minutes of play. Another player off NPU's bench, Larry Moore, was the
team's top rebounder with five. Matt Harrison scored 20 points, Zach
Ramey had 16 points and Adam Hansen had 14 for Benedictine. Hansen led
all rebounders with 10.
NPU travels to southern California for a two-day tournament at Redlands
University. On January 5, coach Paul Brenegan's team plays LaSierra
College of Riverside, California, in a 4 p.m. (PST) matchup while
Redlands hosts Robert Morris College of Illinois later that evening. The
third place game and championship contest will be played the following
evening.
