Box Score Junior forward
Ian Rewoldt scored 13 of his 16 points in the second half as Colorado College came from behind to defeat Husson University, 64-60, on Thursday night in the 2011 Big Easy Challenge at the Alario Center.
Rewoldt gave the Tigers a 61-59 lead when he buried his only 3-point attempt of the game with just 67 seconds remaining. After the Eagles missed their next three shots from the floor, sophomore guard
Ryan Milne made three of four free throws during the final 13 seconds to seal the victory.
Milne finished with a game-high 20 points, including 13 in the first half to keep CC within striking distance. It marked the third straight game and the fourth time this season Milne has scored 20 or more points in a game.
Sophomore guard
Jake Tramutolo made four of five shots from behind the arc and finished with 14 points. His trey with 5:54 to play put the Tigers up 52-51, their first lead since midway through the first half.
Colorado College was within a point at 18-17 when Milne knocked down a short jumper with 8:48 remaining in the first half, but Husson used a 17-8 run to build a 10-point advantage after Brooks Spaulding scored two of his 14 points with 1:46 to go.
But after shooting better than 50-percent from the floor for most of the opening 20 minutes, the Eagles made just eight of their final 27 shots from the floor.
Conversely, the Tigers heated up in the second half when they connected on 12 of 23 field-goal attempts. CC shot 37-percent from the floor in the opening frame.
Phil Leighton added 14 points for Husson, which got a game-high nine rebounds from both Daeshawn McMorrin and Marc Zaharchuk.
Colorado College, which improved to 4-5, wraps up its two-game trip to the Crescent City on Friday night when the Tigers tangle with UMass-Boston.
