The turnovers and the loss of Borgrud proved costly as the WolfPack fell 77-73 to the visiting Trojans.

In the first half, the WolfPack overcame twelve turnovers by shooting the ball well.  The WolfPack shot almost 47percent from the field and 50 percent from beyond the arc in the first half.  Tyler Kowalkowski poured in 12 points while Garrett Borgrud added 10 as the WolfPack led 42-36 at halftime.

In the second half, Madison College built an eight point lead but committed 13 turnovers and went 0-5 from three and the visiting NIACC Trojans crept back in the game.  With a few minutes left to go, Madison College second year center, Garrett Borgrud was charged with his fifth foul and the WolfPack struggled to find their rhythm offensively.  The Trojans took advantage of Borgrud being out and converted the 25 WolfPack turnovers into 25 points including outscoring the WolfPack 38-18 in the paint.
