MBB stumbles on Senior Day

TIFFIN -- The Heidelberg University Men's Basketball team battled in a tight contest on Senior Day, falling to The Student Princes kept it competitive early, trailing by just two at halftime, but Mount Union's efficient second-half performance extended that lead, rarely looking back. The loss drops Heidelberg to 15-8, 11-5 in OAC play, while Mount Union improves to 16-7, 13-3 in OAC action. 

Manny Hill led the way offensively, scoring 16 points on 6-of-12 shooting, including a pair of three-pointers, while also chipping in four rebounds and three assists. Markell Johnson-Nichols was aggressive getting to the basket, finishing with 15 points and five rebounds, going 6-for-7 from the free-throw line. Eric Panning pulled down a team-high 11 rebounds and recorded four blocks in the effort.

For the afternoon, Heidelberg shot just 31.1% overall and 37.5% from beyond the arc, making it difficult to keep pace with Mount Union's offense. The Student Princes also had a tough time generating second-chance points, managing just 10 offensive rebounds despite their efforts on the boards.

Heidelberg returns to action on Wednesday, Feb. 19 against conference frontrunner John Carroll. That game is slated for a 7 p.m. tip off at Seiberling Gymnasium
