TERRE HAUTE, Ind. –
The Windsor Lancers Men's Basketball Team fell
to the Indiana State Sycamores 58-50 Saturday
night in the NCAA/OUA Tip-Off Classic. The game
was played in front of 848 people at the St.
Denis Centre.
The Lancers got off to a quick start as standout
transfer Greg Surmacz (Kirkwood College) had 6
early points to stake Windsor to an early 17-6
lead.
Both teams struggled from the field through the
first half and looked rusty in their first game
back in 2006. The Sycamores were able to cut
into the lead near the end of the half and
trailed Windsor at halftime 28-19.
In the second half, Indiana State came out with
more energy, while the Lancers continued to
struggle from the field, as the Sycamores evened
the score at 41-41.
Both teams tired near the end of the game, as
Indiana State was finally able to seize control
late in the contest en route to the 58-50
victory.
Kevin Kloostra paced the Lancers with 17 points
and 6 rebounds while Greg Surmacz added 9 points
and 7 rebounds in his Lancer debut.
On the night, the Lancers shot 31% from the
field, including 27% from 3-point range. Indiana
State shot 36% from the field, including 35%
from beyond the arc.
Indiana State was led by guard Cole Holmstrom
who had 17 points and 4 rebounds on the evening.
The
Canadian tour continues tomorrow when the
Sycamores face off against Lambton at 3:00 p.m.
