Chargers handed a loss by Oakland
DONALDSON — Tuesday night, the Marian University Ancilla Men’s Basketball team traveled to Auburn Hills, Michigan, to take on Oakland Community College and took a tough loss 101-84.
Both teams entered the night with 10-1 records, while Oakland is ranked #25 in the country, and the Chargers are receiving votes in the same NJCAA Division II poll.
Charger freshman guard Jordan Woods was electric, scoring 40 points on 15-23 shooting. He posted a double-double with 11 rebounds, dished out seven assists, and blocked a pair of shots. He eclipsed his previous career high of 27 points earlier this season.
Marian Ancilla also got a nice effort from sophomore wing Dante Porch (13 points, 4 rebounds), while freshman guard Matt King (10 points) also scored in double figures. However, he struggled with foul trouble and was only able to manage 20 minutes in the loss.
The Chargers do have one more outing before they break for the holidays, as they take on Community Christian (MI) tomorrow night in a doubleheader with the Women’s team. The Men defeated the Lions back on Nov. 30, 120-75.
The women battle Community Christian at 5:30 p.m. at the LifePlex in Plymouth, with the Men to follow at approximately 7:30 p.m.
