By The Globe Gazette staff

BOONE - A poor shooting night led to a 20-point loss for the NIACC men on Wednesday.

The Trojans were shooting 50 percent from the floor in January before converting 34 percent from the floor against the Bears.

Boy Van Vliet scored 21 points, and Trei Mitchell and Luke Mascall-Wright each had 12 for NIACC.

 "It was just one of those nights where they played well and we didn't," NIACC coach Mark Mohl said.

NIACC is off until it hosts Iowa Lakes next Wednesday.
