Racers Can't Find the Winning Gear at UM-Dearborn

DEARBORN, MI - A late push gave UNOH a chance on the road, but UM-Dearborn managed to hold off the comeback handing the Racers a 100-88 loss.

After leading for most of the first eight minutes of the ball game, UNOH surrended the lead for the final time with 11:07 left to play in the first half. The Wolverines blew the game open with a 17-4 run and led 51-39 at the break. UNOH cut the lead to eight twice to start the second half, but couldn't get any closer as UM-Dearborn kept them at arms length. After the Wolverines took their largest lead of the game, 85-62, the Racers tried to make it interesting again rattling off a 17-3 run of their own to cut the lead to single digits with 3:34 left to play. However, their efforts fell short as UM-Dearborn fended off the comeback holding on for the win.
