Grinnell men drop contest at MWC leader Illinois College

JACKSONVILLE, Ill. - Grinnell College's men's basketball team faced a tall task Wednesday night, traveling to match up against Midwest Conference leader Illinois College.

The Blueboys, who have lost just twice all season, bolted out to a 59-42 halftime lead on their way to a 104-81 victory.

Jordon Ryan '24 had the hot hand for Grinnell (7-15, 3-11 MWC), tallying a career-best 15 points on 5-of-8 shooting from the field including a 3-of-5 performance from 3-point land. Sean Walser '26 was also in double figures with 10 points and Zach Rosen '26 tallied nine.

Rosen also had four rebounds and three steals, Dean Mazlish '23 dished out six rebounds and Ryan had a block.

Though Grinnell never led, the Pioneers held their own for much of the first half and pulled within seven at 28-21 on Ryan's 3-pointer with 9:23 left. It was still a nine-point game when Ryan's free throw at the 8:37 mark made it 32-23, but Illinois College (20-2, 12-1 MWC) responded with a 10-point run on its way to a 17-point halftime lead.

Grinnell returns to Darby Gymnasium next Tuesday to entertain Beloit College. Tip-off is 7:30 p.m.
