FLAT MONARCHS DOWNED BY MISERICORDIA
WILKES-BARRE -- Willie
Chandler scored a game-high 29 points to lead a red-hot College
Misericordia squad to a 75-68 victory over King's in a non-conference
matchup Monday in Dallas.
Misericordia (7-7) exploded out of the gates in the first half and raced
out to a 41-26 lead at the break when the Cougars scorched the nets,
making an astounding 77.3 (17-22) of its first half shots.
The Monarchs (10-5) would fight back to within 61-52 with 5:06 remaining
but the Cougars countered with a 14-6 spurt to put the game away.
King's, which posted an emotional win over rival Scranton on Saturday,
came out flat and shot just 29.4 (10-34) percent in the first half to dig
itself a hole from which it could never escape.
Dannie Evans led King's with 13 points while Britt Moore and Kasim
Holloman added 11 and 10 respectively.
The Monarchs will host
Lycoming Wednesday in an important MAC Freedom Conference matchup at 8:00
p.m.
