Daniels Hits Game Winner - Luther Defeats Gustavus
Nov. 17, 2007
Shane Daniels (Roseville, Minn./Como Park) made a layup with just three ticks remaining on the clock, giving Luther a 60-58 victory over Gustavus Adolphus in St. Peter, Minn. this afternoon.
Seniors Austin Bildstein (Anamosa, Iowa) and Tony Brantner (Mason City, Iowa) led a Norse attack that saw 11 different players score. Bildstein tallied 15 points, while Brantner chipped in 12 one week removed from his final start for the Norse football team.
Luther played a well controlled ball game turning the ball over just 12 times and out rebounded Gustavus 39-35. Both teams made 13 free throws, but Luther's 8-for-9 effort in the final eight minutes, allowed the Norse to get back into this game after falling behind 45-41 with 8:32 remaining. The Norse led 32-21 at intermission, but were outscored 20-8 during the first 11 minutes of the second frame.
The Norse return to action on Monday, Nov. 19, when they will host St. Olaf College at 7:00 p.m.
