Salt Lake City, UT - On Friday night, the Behnken Field House on the campus of Westminster University in Utah witnessed an intense battle as the Men's Basketball team faced Adams State University. Despite a strong second-half effort that made the game interesting, the Griffins fell short, succumbing to a 92-81 defeat in the RMAC showdown.

Pierce Sterling emerged as a standout performer for the Griffins, leading the team with an impressive 23 points. However, Adams State University's commanding 22-point lead at halftime proved to be a significant advantage that the Griffins couldn't completely overcome. Cole Kadoguchi contributed with 14 points, and Trey Wood added 13 in the effort.

The second half showcased the Griffins' resilience as they came out strong, narrowing the Grizzlies' lead to just eight points with 11 minutes to play. Although the Griffins continued their push and reduced the deficit to five points, they couldn't close the gap entirely.

A key factor in the Griffins' second-half surge was their proficiency beyond the arc, sinking 14 three-pointers, with nine of them finding the mark during this crucial period.
