LINDSBORG, KAN. – The Bethany College Swedes Men’s Basketball Team played host to the University of Saint Mary Spires in a battle of KCAC teams with a 1-6 conference record.

Maurice Cudjo II would lead the Swedes with 21 points to go along with 5 rebounds and a steal. Keondae Johnson racked up 13 points to go along with team-highs of 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, and a block. JR Cison would nab 3 steals as well.
As a team, the Swedes would struggle to get anything to go down shooting 37% from the floor and 48% from the free throw line.
