After trailing early in the game, SMC tied the game two minutes before halftime and played a closely contested game for much of the next 15 minutes of play.

That put the Corsairs up by 12 points, 69-57. On the next possession a defensive stop by SMC led to a quick 3 point shot that pushed the lead to 15 points and the Corsairs were never threatened again. 

SMC was led in scoring by #22, Quinn Collins with 20 points and #3 Cam Cohn with 18 points.

You can catch the Corsairs again this Saturday, Jan. 7th at Citrus College.
