Box Score Elsah, Ill. - Thursday night, the Principia Basketball Panthers hosted Webster University in a conference match-up at Hay Fieldhouse. The outcome was a Webster victory by the score of 84 - 47. Throughout the night the Panthers could not find the basket, shooting just 25% from the field. Combine the poor shooting with 16 Webster steals, 17 additional turnovers, and an 8 rebound deficit and you have the formula for a blowout. Webster took care of business with 11 of their 13 roster players scoring in the game.
Damon Wilgus had 18 for Principia, hitting 4 three pointers in the first half and 1 in the second. Although Principia jumped out to an 8 point early lead, the gorloks came roaring back to take the lead and never looked back. Principia will next host Iowa Wesleyan in a conference game Saturday afternoon at 3:00 PM.
