No. 3 Firestorm To Much For Royals

Glendale, AZ - The Hope International University men's basketball team (4-2, 2-1 GSAC) couldn't keep up with No. 3 Arizona Christian as they fell 94-63 on Thursday evening in Glendale, AZ.

The Royals started the game off well as Tristan Williams and Sebastian Castro put them up early 5-0 but the Firestorm quickly came back to take a 9-6 lead. Rasheet Wilson would then tie the game with a three but the Firestorm quickly answered as they took a 17-10 lead. The Royals didn't give up though as they kept pace trailing 21-16 midway through the first half. The Royals managed to get within 25-21 on a free throw by Wilson but that's as close as they would get as the Firestorm closed the half strong as they took a 49-33 lead at halftime.

The Royals continued to fight in the second half as Caleb Christopher nailed a three with 13:26 left to pull the Royals within 62-49.  The Firestorm continued to hold the Royals at bay as they led 68-54 midway through the second half. The Royals were unable to keep pace with the Firestorm as they extended their lead to 20 before closing the game on an 11-1 run as the Royals fell 94-63. Castro led the Royals with 13 points.
