Bay quint gets sweep of Lakers

MANITOWOC, Wis. — A late rally saved the Bay College men Saturday night in a 75-70 basketball victory over the Silver Lake Lakers.

The Bay women also won 70-41.

Bay’s men trailed 70-67 before scoring the final eight points.

“Our kids battled to the end,” said Norse coach Matt Johnson.

“We didn’t execute very well early in the second half, but the guys were resilient and refocused on the task at hand. We did a great job on the defensive end the last three minutes. Kobi Barnes made a great move to give us the lead and Alfonzo Fields and Marcus McKenney made big free throws to seal the deal. I’m very proud of our effort.”

A pair of dunks by Christian Alexander gave the Norse (16-8) a 10-point lead in the first half before Silver Lake (7-17) rallied for a 37-36 halftime lead.

McKenney led the Norse with 22 points. Barnes and Alexander scored 11 each.

Byron Dean, Jr. paced the Lakers with 21 points. Thomas Bullock added 17 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and four steals. David Hughes had 14 points.

Silver Lake’s Michael Cantre, averaging 19.1 points a game, fouled out and was limited to two points.

The Bay women, playing for the first time in two weeks, outscored Silver Lake 30-16 in the second half.

Jordan Kraemer scored 17 points. JuliAnn Wickman hit 16 and Keshia Davis had nine for the Norse (17-6), who led 40-25 at halftime.

Silver Lake’s Hailee Kotche joined the 1,000-point club, hitting 23 points. She also grabbed 12 boards, blocked five shots and had three steals. Angie Kudick added 11 points and four steals.

The Lakers, with just seven available players, hit 14-of-15 free throws but committed 30 turnovers.

Bay visits Finlandia tonight, with the women playing at 5:30 followed by the men’s game at 7:30.
