VALLEY CITY, N.D. (vcsuvikings.com) – Connor Entzi drew four offensive fouls and poured in a game-high 18 points Friday night as the Valley City State men’s basketball team defeated Waldorf University, 74-61.
Entzi drew four charges – all in the first half – to fuel a strong Viking defensive performance in the first half. VCSU trailed 11-0 early, but stepped up their defense which in turn fueled the offense. The Vikings forced Waldorf into 18 first-half turnovers and came storming back to take a 36-24 lead at the break.
“Our defense is what carried us through that slow start,” said head coach Ryan Montgomery. “We got them sped up, forced them into some turnovers and they went dry for a little bit. Our defense really carried us in the first half.”
