Cardinals Fall at Upper Iowa

FAYETTE, Iowa - The William Jewell men's basketball team dropped a 75-55 contest at Upper Iowa on Saturday afternoon to fall to 6-13 on the season and 3-8 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • With the Cardinals trailing by eight early, Upper Iowa went on a 18-8 run to open up a double digit lead before Caden McGuire's jumper ended the run. The Peacocks closed the half on a 6-2 spurt to hold a 14-point lead at the intermission, 34-20.
  • Upper Iowa expanded their advantage to 20 points in the early minutes of the second half before Jordan Jermain scored the next 17 Jewell points. The Peacocks grew their lead to as many as 23 late in the game but Ashton Jermain hit two triples down the stretch to bring the score to the final. 

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Jordan Jermain finished with a game-high 25 points, including 23 in the second half, to go with three assists.
  • Jason Thirdkill, Jr. added a dozen points and seven rebounds. 
  • The Cardinals shot 41% from the floor but were just 4-of-20 from long range.
