Men's Bball Sweeps/ Women Get Swept

12/14/2009 - 2:20 AM

It was a weekend of sweeps for the Saint Cloud State basketball teams this last weekend but not the one the women's team liked. The women were upended by Minnesota State-Moorehead 74-62 on Friday and then by Minnesota-Crookston 80-61 on Saturday.

The Huskies were lead in scoring both nights by Becca Friestleben who collected 33 points on the weekend and Talisha Barlow also added 24 in the games. Saint Cloud is now 4-5 on the year with a 1-3 mark in the conference as they continue to mature with their young lineup in NSIC play.

The men on the other hand who have 4 of their top 5 scorers back from last season took both games this weekend to improve to 6-2 on the season with a 3-1 record in the conference. Brett Putz, Taylor Witt and Matt Schneck (Sh-neck) continue to contribute each night as the Huskies are still currently ranked in the top 25 in Division II basketball.

Both the men and women are in action at home this Wednesday night while the men follow up with another contest on Thursday.
