UD Loses to Huntingdon, Norton Scores 31 in Defeat

The University of Dallas men's basketball team couldn't pull off the win despite 31 points from senior guard Jim Norton (Louisville, KY/Holy Angels Academy) in Sunday's 57-59 loss against Huntingdon College. Up by five at the break, Huntingdon rallied behind great second half shooting for the two point win.

Norton's team high 31 points came on 9-15 shooting from the field, including 5 three pointers, and 8-9 precision from the line. He also added 2 rebounds and a steal. Fellow senior, forward Travis Ekmark (Yokosuka, Japan/Nile C. Kinnick H.S.), led the team with 9 rebounds while scoring 5 points, dishing out 3 assists, recording 2 steals and blocking 1 shot. Senior point guard Jeff Pritchard (Oak Grove, LA/Frisco H.S.) also joined the upperclassmen in having a great game by posting 11 points, 5 assists, and 4 steals.

UD will take on Rhodes College tomorrow evening in Memphis, TN at 7:00pm, and hopes rebound after the tough loss.
