Jamestown loses in 1st round of National Tournament
Bringing the nation's 7th leading scorer (Jake Holen) and an offense that was averaging over 83ppg, our #17th ranked team had all the reasons to feel confident in our chances to win at the NAIA National Tournament.
But, after a finding the air to be a little thicker down here in Missouri, we found some difficulty in putting points on the scoreboard. After fighting though the first 20 minutes, we trailed 28-38 at half, after going 0-7 from the 3 point line. We found a little more offense in the 2nd half, but weren't able to get enough shots to fall, as we lost to #15th ranked Cedarville University, 83-59.
Senior Kyle Iverson led the way, scoring our team's first 8 points and finished with 18 points. Jordan Olson had 14 and Jake Holen had 13.
Our team has a long list of accomplishment's this year, and though this season has to end with a loss, our entire program (as well as our college and community) has plenty to be proud of. Winning 23 games, securing a conference championship and earning a berth into the National Tournament are just a few off the highlight's of the year. Look for more posts in the future with a larger in-depth look at the 2007-2008 season...

DAC Post-Season Tournament Title Game Loss
Though we'd already been crowned "Conference Champions" with our 1st place finish during the regular season, our loss last night to Minot State in the DAC Post-Season Tournament Championship Game last night was a tough one to swallow.
We led by 10 at halftime and played an outstanding first half. But, after extending the lead to 13 with 14 minutes to go, Minot State slowly made their way back into the game, and tied the score at 85 with 10 seconds to go. And, as is one of the most difficult ways to lose, they hit a last-second contested shot to win, 87-85.
Jake Holen led all scorers with 31 points, and Kyle Iverson added a double-double with 25 points and 11 rebounds. Iverson also had 3 monster dunks, which brought the crowd of over 2,000 to their feet each time.
And, though the official word will not be announced until Wednesday, it appears that we will still receive a berth into the NAIA National Tournament, which will take place March 12-18 down in Point Lookout, MO.
