Panthers run into foul trouble in home loss to Blackburn

Elsah, IL – The Principia Men's Basketball team was back at home on Saturday for another important SLIAC contest against the Blackburn College Beavers. Earlier this season, Principia defeated Blackburn 72-71 in a contest that came down to the final possession. The Panthers came into the game looking to move within one game of the Beavers in the standings and sweep the season series. Blackburn would prove to be a formidable opponent as they took a four point lead going into the half, 32-28. Principia would fight valiantly in the second half but were unable to inch in front of the Beavers, as they fell 79-75.
