A 17-0 run to close the first half by Gogebic Community College erased a five-point Madison College lead and proved to be too much to overcome in a 66-56 setback for the WolfPack men's basketball team. The loss sent the hosts to an 0-2 mark in the two-day, four-team Border Battle Classic at Redsten Gym.
