MBB slowed by Blue Streaks, Harden nets 1,000th Career Point

UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS -- The Heidelberg University Men's Basketball team battled for 40 minutes, but ultimately fell to the Blue Streaks of John Carroll, 77-70. The Student Princes fell out of a first-place tie in the Ohio Athletic Conference, slipping to 9-5 overall, 5-2 in the league. 

Heidelberg struggled from beyond the arc in the first half, and shot an unusual low of 35% in the first half, but only found themselves down by eight at the break. The Student Princes got as close as three in the second half, but couldn't secure their first lead of the night.

Markell Johnson-Nichols led all Heidelberg scorers with 18 points. Zane Leitwein and Eric Panning both hit double digit points.

Elijah Harden eclipsed the career 1,000 point mark, coming on a free throw at the 13:10 mark in the second half.

Heidelberg returns to action on Saturday, hosting Wilmington in the back-half of a doubleheader with the Quakers. Prior to the game, the Student Princes will hold a brief ceremony to officially rename the playing surface as Sayger-Hill Court, with John Hill's name joining Herman Sayger's name.
