C-M-S strikes first

There wasn't a Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) Championship on the line this time but the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's basketball team got the upper hand in the regular season series against Pomona-Pitzer last night with a 68-61 win at Ducey Gym. The win improved the Stags to 4-0 in conference play while the Sagehens fall to 2-2.

Both teams were tied at 33-33 going into the 2nd half. But while C-M-S dropped in field goal efficiency (42 percent to 33 percent) in the last 20 minutes, the Stags were able to constantly get to the charity stripe. C-M-S made 19 of 23 free throws in the 2nd half alone compared to 7 of 10 for Pomona-Pitzer.

The women's version of the Sixth Street Showdown (Claremont-Mudd-Scripps vs Pomona-Pitzer) will take place tonight at Ducey Gym at 7:30 p.m.
