On the road against a top-shelf opponent for the third time in five days, the Macks (10-5, 3-2 Western Cloverbelt Conference) went back and forth in a hard-nosed, defensive struggle with the Blackhawks (7-3, 4-1 WCC).
For the majority of the contest, both teams played with a two possession lead or less, with outside shooting struggles and foul trouble plaguing McDonell for much of the game. In the second half, Bloomer found their inside scoring punch, and did just enough to keep the game out of reach in the final seconds.
WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Junior center Mason Busse was a powerhouse in the paint, ripping down rebounds and playing lights out defense on Bloomer's top scorer, while also pacing the Macks offensive attack with 12 points.
