Nov. 19, 2005

The Dordt College Defenders thundered in and stole the home court out from under the Dana men’s basketball team Saturday afternoon in Blair.  Everything clicked for the Dordt offense and the Defenders gained a 19-point lead by the end of the first half.  Dana could not overcome the deficit and dropped their conference opener 87-72 to Dordt.

Dana guard Jason Isaacson (Council Bluffs, Iowa) scored 16 points, 5 assists and four rebounds in the game.  Isaacson had a scoring average of 32 points/game going into Saturday’s match-up. 

Tyler Mohr (Ocheyedan, Iowa) and freshman Zach Genant (Springfield, S.D.) each scored 11.  Mark Esser (Woodbine, Iowa) led Dana’s rebounding with nine.  Esser had five points in the game.

The Vikings committed 23 turnovers- 16 in the first half.  Add to that Dana’s forty-one percent shooting in the first half while Dordt was shooting sixty percent from the field.

Expect Dana’s youthful, hard-working team to bounce back quickly.

Dana will get another chance at a conference win Tuesday night.  Dana hosts Doane College at 7:30pm.
