To their credit, however, the Bears were a solid 16 of 21 (76%) from the charity stripe. The Mustangs struggled, especially from the free throw line (11-19, 58%), and from three point land (1-13, 8%).
The Bears are back in action on Saturday as they go down the road to Norton, Massachusetts to take on the the Lyons of Wheaton College. Mount Ida is off until next Tuesday when they play host to the Lancers of Worcester State College.
