MONARCH MEN FALL TO MUHLENBERG IN MORAVIAN TOURNEY
OPENER.
BETHLEHEM -- Ryan Bonda's lay-up with 0:50 remaining
broke a 66-66 tie as Muhlenberg College posted a 69-68 victory over the
King's College men's basketball team in the opening round of the Greyhound
Rock Classic Saturday at Moravian College, Bethlehem.
After Bonda's basket, King's had a chance to knot
the score but Kasim Holloman missed both ends of a two-shot foul with 0:43
remaining. With 0:12 left, the Monarchs fouled Bonda who made one of two
charity tosses to put the Mules on top 69-66. King's Jonathan Veet then
scored with 0:09 left to bring King's to within one point but the
Muhlenberg was able to run out the clock and hold on to the win.
Dannie Evans led King's (7-4) with 21 points while
Dave Marcks followed with 14 points and 13 rebounds. Holloman netted 11
points while Britt Moore chipped in with 10.
Muhlenberg (5-5) was paced by Anthony Strachan with
18 points while Bonda and Toomay Anderson added 16 and 14 points
respectively.
King's will play in the 1:00 p.m. consolation game
Sunday against the loser of Muhlenberg and Connecticut College.
