Roadrunners Open Conference Play With Loss To SSAC Newcomer Stillman


TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - #15 Dalton State played well offensively, but could not overcome 16 three-pointers from Stillman (Ala.) as the Roadrunners opened SSAC play with a 111-99 loss to the Tigers in Tuscaloosa, Ala. on Thursday night.

THE FIRST HALF
A great offensive plan was in place for the Roadrunners as they jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead with buckets by Elijah Staley and Ty Pendley. The Tigers would bounce back with three 3's to take a 13-10 lead with 16:41 remaining in the half.

Dalton State would hang tough and go toe-to-toe with the high powered offense of Stillman. Staley would tie the game at 19-19 at the 15:10 mark with a bucket in the paint. Stillman would once again attempt to go on a run, but the Roadrunners would again battle back and tie the contest at 25-25 with 12:35 to go after a Timothy Green basket.

Stillman would start to roll going on a 13-2 run capped by a Londell King bucket to take a 38-27 lead. The teams would continue to trade buckets, but the Tigers would stretch the lead out to 16 points at 57-41 with 3:23 on the clock. Dalton State would miss a few key buckets in the waning minutes of the half and go into halftime down 13 points, 61-48.

THE SECOND HALF
Stillman would pick up where they left off in the first half and open the second period of play with a 13-3 run to stretch the lead out to 23 points at 74-51. Dalton State would re-group and start to chip away. They would use a 9-2 capped by a Sean Cranney three to cut the Stillman lead to 16. The Stillman lead would stabilize from there.

Staley would get a bucket in the paint with 11:33 remaining to cut the lead to 14 points at 81-67, but the Roadrunners struggled to get stops and get the game closer. Dalton State would get as close as 11 points with 4:41 remaining in the half, but Stillman would be too strong on the evening as they would keep the lead in double-digits and win 111-99.
