Game Recap: Poor Shooting Dooms Golden Rams

The Anoka-Ramsey Community College Men's Basketball team hit a cold spell in Wahpeton, ND on Sunday night, falling to NDSCS 84-64.

The normally hot shooting Golden Rams (50.8 percent FGs the previous game) had a reversal of fortune against the host Wildcats and only managed to connect on 30 percent of their field goals.

Anoka-Ramsey managed to keep the game tight throughout the opening period, trailing 25-24 with 6:36 left in the first half.  A 12-4 run by the Wildcats pushed the lead to 37-28 with 1:39 remaining.

Each team exchanged a fully of three-point field goals before the half ended with NDSCS ahead 43-36.

The Wildcats jumped on the Golden Rams to open the second half, scoring the first six points as part of a 13-5 run to open a 59-41 lead with 15:35 left in the game.

Anoka-Ramsey would continue to chip away at the deficit, eventually cutting the score to 68-58 with 7:22 remaining.

But some costly errors over the next four minutes on both ends of the floor allowed NDSCS to put on a 9-0 run and the Golden Rams never threatened again.

The Golden Rams had no answer for NDSCS sophomore shooting guard Johnny Woodard who dropped in 42 points on the night.

Kashif Hayes (Fr, St. Louis Park) scored a career-high 19 points.

Justin Casey (So, Park Center) scored 15 points.

Trenton Pollard (So, Prairie Seeds Academy) scored 13 to round out the double-figure scorers for Anoka-Ramsey.

The Golden Rams fall to 1-3 on the season and will travel to the St. Paul Salvation Army on Wednesday for a 7:00pm tip vs. Dakota County Tech.
