ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Minnesota State University Moorhead men's basketball team fell to Concordia University, St. Paul, 72-62, Sunday in the Dragons final game of the 2017 calendar year. Four Dragons scored in double figures for MSUM.

However, the Golden Bears would go on a 13-4 run to take a seven-point lead over the Dragons.

A dunk by the Cody Carlson of CSP gave the Golden Bears a 33-31 lead going into halftime.

Juniors Coad and Park each had eight first half points for MSUM.

The teams opened up the second half nearly the same as the first, back-and-forth as the score was tied on five different occasions within the first eight minutes of play. Despite a one point lead for the Dragons at the 14:49 mark of the second half, the Golden Bears led for the remainder of the game, leading them to a 72-62 New Year's Eve victory over MSUM

The Dragons will return to home to take on Minot State and U-Mary next weekend to begin a four-game homestand.

Steve d'Eustachio Stat of the Game: Tonight was the first time that the Dragons lost their final game of a calendar year in the middle of the season since falling 70-69 at Northern St. on Dec. 21, 2013.
