Scottsdale, AZ - The Mesa Thunderbirds put up a valiant effort in the second half but fell short of victory as Seward County defeated the T-Birds, 73-62, Friday morning at Scottsdale Community College.
In a competitive first half, Mesa held their own against the #15 team in the DI.

The Saints connected on six first half three pointers compared to Mesa's one. Seward County finished the half with an 11 point advantage, 36-25.
In the second half, Mesa chipped away at the Saint lead, cutting it to a six point difference but it wasn't enough. Seward County made 14 second half free-throws to go along with three more three pointers.
