Coach Munro Rateau explained that his team needed to up the tempo after a low scoring first half that had Western on top by four at the break. In the second half, Rateau noted his team ” played good defense and made its free throws at the end, and that is how you win games.” Point guard Dorian Butler was four for six from the line in the final seconds, while sophomore front court player Jalen Harrison also had three free throws in the fourth quarter. Sophomore Vinnie Agee led the Flucos in scoring with 14, while Harrison had 10. – Duncan Nixon
