Men's Basketball Outlasts Concordia

Men's Basketball Outlasts Concordia

ANN ARBOR, Mich. --The Siena Heights men's basketball team held on to defeat Concordia, 77-74, in WHAC action on Wednesday night.

Delano Williams was the leading scorer for the Saints with 16 points, while Shawn Brown had 12 points and eight rebounds.

Brent Wiles also had 13 points, 11 of which came in the first half to help set the tone for the Saints on the evening. 

In the first half, Concordia held a three-point lead at the half at 39-36. It was in the second half when the Saints were able to make the big-time game-winning plays down the stretch. After Concordia had the lead for four and a half minutes of the second half, the Saints were finally able to take the lead at 45-44 when Delano Williams made a layup. However, Concordia then was able to go on a 14-5 run to go up 58-50 with just under 12 minutes remaining in the game. That was until the Saints went on a 9-0 run of their own to go up 59-58. In the remaining seconds, the Saints found themselves up one with 19 seconds to go, until Colin Nutter made the game-sealing dunk to ultimately seal the deal for the Saints at 77-74. 

SHU will return to action on Saturday, Jan. 20, as it travels to Grand Rapids, Mich. to take on the Aquinas Saints.
