🔼 Career High. The men’s basketball team forced overtime with Loyola Chicago, but fell to the Ramblers 87-80. Mike Walz scored a career-high 20 points. Mikkel Tyne was right behind with 18, and B. Artis White had 16.

🔼 Last Round. The men’s golf team made it to the championship match of The Match Play. The Spiders went into a tiebreaker against Ball State. Since the Cardinals had a greater total margin of victory, they took the win. But overall, the men had two wins and one tie in the tournament.
