PARK ENDS SEASON
WITH 39-POINT OFFENSIVE OUTPUT, FEWEST POINTS IN ELEVEN YEARS
LOUISVILLE, KY--In eleven years, Claude English's basketball teams have gained a
reputation for their defensive consistency; yet, holding Spalding University
(Ky.) (21-12) to just 49 points wasn't good enough to propel the Pirates
(14-16) into the semifinal round of the NAIA Men's Division I Independent
Regional Tournament Friday evening. Spalding came away with the win,
49-39. Spalding will face #2-seed Brescia (Ky.) on Saturday. Park's
39-point output marked the lowest ever by one of English's teams, undercutting
the previous low of 40 points (vs. Southern Nazarene on November 21, 1998) by
one point. The combined 88 points between the two teams also marked a new
low since English took over the Pirates in 1992. The previous combined low
of 90 points shared by both teams was set on November 11, 1995, when Rockhurst
edged Park, 46-44. English's teams are 4-2 when holding opponents under 50
points. Friday's loss to Spalding marked the conclusion of Park's season.
