The Taylor men's basketball team fell short Saturday at Rio Grande in their third game of the season with a final score of 79-86.
Although the final outcome wasn't what head coach Josh Andrews hoped for, he's confident in his team's potential and knows what it takes to improve down the road.
"We played hard and unselfishly," Andrews said. "Our group needs more game experience and must sharpen our execution down the stretch. We must take our growth as a team one day at a time and improve each time we're together. We have some skill and talent and great energy about the group."
A major highlight of Saturday's game occurred when senior guard Kyle Stidom joined the Taylor 1,000-point club. Stidom finished with a game-high 23 points and snatched a team-high of six rebounds. His performance allowed him to surpass 1,100 total points in his collegiate career. Stidom believes the loss can help serve the Trojans well in the season to come.
The Trojans play this Saturday at home against Miami University-Hamilton. Tip-off is at 3 p.m.
