The win was a hard fought game against the St. Thomas University Tommies which took an overtime period to complete. The Clippers were able to outscore the Tommies 10-2 in the overtime period to secure the 74-66 victory. The end of regulation was filled with excitement as the Tommies knocked down a 15 foot jump shot with 6.2 seconds left. After a timeout the Clippers in-bounded to Brian Alexander who was able to penetrate the middle of the Tommies defense and complete a pass to Cliff McDonald who laid in the basket to tie the score. The Clippers were led in scoring and rebounding by McDonald with 18 points and 7 rebounds and Zach Armstrong with 16 points and 7 rebounds.  UMM Coach Brac Brady was pleased to get the win but saw a lot of areas to work on, "It was nice to get the first game under our belt and pull out a close victory. I thought our crowd was great, especially for this early in the season. The team will continue to work on our defensive assignments and rotations and being a lot more patient on offense."

The Clippers will be playing in the Reynolds Center again on Thursday, November 5th against Unity College. Tip for the game is 8 pm.
