Late Rally Not Enough as SCSU Falls to UMD
ST. CLOUD -- The St. Cloud State University men's basketball team came up short against the University of Minnesota-Duluth on Friday.

Down 43-28, the Huskies rallied and closed the gap to three points with around 11 minutes remaining. It was short-lived, however, as UMD went on an 18-8 run to close it out ahead 73-60.
Drew Blair led all scorers, dropping 20 points for Duluth. Anthony Roberts led SCSU with 13 points. Caleb Donaldson finished with 12 points. Ryan Bagley and Josh Tomasi each added 11 for St. Cloud.
