Northland came out with high energy, and they were
enthusiastic about the opportunity to play Grace.They began the game very cold from FG range,
but Seth Quirey (Elkhart, IN) lit a flame in the Pioneers as he
rattled off three, three-point baskets to end the half down only 30–35.
The Pioneers showed a lot of heart as they refused to back
down to Grace in the second half.Quirey
continued right where he left off as he came out of halftime hot, nailing two
more three-point baskets on consecutive possessions.Northland stayed right with Grace and was within three points with 23.1
seconds remaining in the game.The
Pioneers couldn’t convert any baskets at the end of the game and had to foul to
give themselves a chance, but it just wasn’t enough.
Quirey led the team in scoring and finished the game with 26
points and 5 rebounds.Daniel Doran (Detroit, MI)
contributed 11 assists in a great effort by the Pioneers.
Northland plays in consecutive days as they travel to Lakeland College for a nonconference matchup at
5 p.m. (CST).
