In the Midwest Conference opener for both teams, the former Roseville star knocked down 7-of-10 three-pointers and scored 20 second-half points on his way to a game-high 26.
But the Red Hawks got solid performances from several players to keep the Scots at bay. Bo Johnson delivered 14 of his team-high 18 points in the first half to stake Ripon to a 49-39 halftime advantage, and David McMullen scored all but one of his 14 points after intermission. He also had 10 assists. Ripon big man Brian Schmitting contributed 15 points and Paul Wise had 14.
The Scots trailed by as many as 15 in the first half, but Singleton's shooting kept them in contention in the second half. Down the stretch, the Scots completed a 7-0 run and pulled within three at 86-83 on an Anthony Beaird trey, but McMullen made four straight free throws to ice the game.
Beaird had 11 points and Chris Hebeler dished out six assists for the Scots, who fall to 3-2.
