TEAM HIGHLIGHTS
Â
MONTEVALLO
The Falcons have lost their last three games since opening the post-holiday campaign with three consecutive wins. In their last game, the Falcons struggled on offense, hitting 9-of-24 fieldgoals and only 2-of-8 3-pointers. Despite that, the game was tight until a late run by UWA resulted in a 10 point deficit for the Falcons at halftime, 31-21. UM would battle back to tie the game early in the second half, but couldn't keep up down the stretch.
