Back at home after two straight road games, the Macks (9-3, 4-2 Western Cloverbelt Conference) fell behind early to the Crickets (4-7, 2-4 WCC), but made a late surge to take a two point lead into the locker room.
In a back and forth second half, Fall Creek started to pull away late, but again, McDonell showed no quit as they fought their way back to a tie, only to fall short in the final seconds.
WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Sophomore guard Cael Holm knocked down five threes and scored a game-high 21 points, while junior guard Jordan Sikora had an especially strong first half and finished with 16. Junior guard Cooper Mittermeyer was nearly perfect from the free throw line and tallied 14 for the game, while sophomore forward Karson Galvez was the fourth Macks player in double digits, adding 10 points.
