Game Story: Golden Rams Defeat Quakerdale Prep

The Anoka-Ramsey Community College Men's Basketball team remained undefeated with a win on Tuesday night over the Quakerdale Prep Eagles 86-76.

Defense was again a big key for the Golden Rams as it was in their previous game.

Quakerdale was held to just 37.7% shooting for the night including a 2-16 performance from the three-point line.

In the first half, Anoka-Ramsey held Quakerdale to just 35.3% from the field, however allowing eight offensive rebounds and committing seven turnovers kept the game close as Anoka-Ramsey led 36-30 at the break.

The Golden Rams opened a big lead early in the second half, going up by as many as 19 at one point, but the Eagles wouldn't go away quietly.

The Anoka-Ramsey lead was trimmed to as little as four points late in the game, but some key defensive stops and 12-16 free throw shooting in the second half kept Quakerdale at bay.

The Golden Rams held a 47-43 rebounding edge against the taller Eagles and knocked down eight three-point field goals compared to just two for Quakerdale.

Montez Wilkerson led the team in scoring with a game-high 23 points on 7-14 shooting including 4-9 from the three-point line.  Wilkerson also pulled down six rebounds.
