Franciscan 70, Washington & Jefferson 86

Franciscan Starters
Josh Zimmerman, Sawyer Butler, Karl Yonkeu, Nicholas Allienello, Alan Wood 

How It Happened 
    The Baron defense flailed in the second half that allowed the W&J Presidents to pull away with a big lead. The Presidents' found success with a player off the bench that the Boys from the Ville could not find an answer for. 
    Although one of their better shooting nights, tonight was a rare occasion that the defense let them down. 
    The Barons are on a bye this Saturday. Hopefully the rest brings a much needed energy boost
