Panthers get back in win column with exciting 18-point comeback

ELSAH, IL – After a tough SLIAC opening loss at Fontbonne, the Principia Men's Basketball team looked to end their four game skid on Thursday with a home win against SLIAC newcomer, MUW. This was the Owls first SLIAC game in program history, and for a while, it looked as though MUW would come away with the victory. After the Owls built up an 18 point lead with 15 minutes remaining, Principia would storm all the way back and send the game into overtime knotted at 66. In OT, the Panthers took the lead and never looked back as they came away with their first SLIAC victory, 82-76.
