Owls fail to fly in season opener

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Kenyon College men's basketball team opened their season on Friday evening against Case Western Reserve University in the Bill Susdek Tournament. Kenyon fell by a score of 76-43 in the Veale Center to a talented Case Western squad who shot well for the night. 

The first half was a roller coaster for the Owls falling behind 10-0 to start the game. Going on a 13-3 run the Owls pulled back even. A Jackson Burke jumper started the run for the Owls working the paint off an assist from Nicholas Graves. With the Owls still trailing 8-13, Bence Lendvay pulled off a great block in the paint, snagging the rebound dishing it down the floor before firing a three to cut the lead to two. Lendvay added to his stat line snagging a steal on the next possession leading to a Nicholas Graves bucket and a tie game. 

The rest of the half consisted of elite three point shooting for the Spartans heading into the half shooting nearly 40% from beyond the arc.

Bence Lendvay led the Owls with 11 points on 62% shooting from the field while adding a steal, a block and three boards. Jackson Burke was a defensive anchor for the Owls grabbing eight boards, with three blocks and two steals on top of nine points. Langston Foster shot at a 50% clip for Kenyon totaling nine points, knocking down a three. 

The Owls will play for third place against Trine University at 12:00 PM on November 7 at Case Western.
