Back on their home floor for the first time in three weeks, the Macks (10-4, 6-4 Western Cloverbelt Conference) took an early five-point lead against the visiting Railroaders (13-7, 7-4 WCC), but an extended scoring drought left them behind by seven at the break.
Both teams played strong defense throughout, but Altoona hit just enough shots to pull away every time McDonell came within a single possession, and held on at the end to notch a crucial conference victory.
WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Senior guard Jake Siegenthaler showcased his athleticism on multiple occasions, finishing with a team-high 15 points.
