Box Score Winning its third straight in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, the Webster University men's basketball team handed Principia College a 73-66 loss, on January 16, at Grant Gymnasium.  Kevin Miller (SO, Belleville, IL/Belleville East HS) recorded his third double double on the season, scoring team-highs with 17 points and 12 rebounds.

A see-saw affair in the early going, Webster trailed, 16-13, with 10:15 left in the first half.  A Hunter Ward (FR, St. Louis, MO/Kirkwood HS) dunk and subsequent layup by Jarrod Huskey (SR, Hillsboro, MO/Hillsboro HS) put Webster up 23-18 at the 5:03 mark.  The Gorloks entered the locker room up, 29-22, shooting 53% (12-23) from the field.

In the second half, the Gorloks lead ballooned to 47-33, with a 10-0 run that included a Miller dunk, and never looked back.  After a woeful 27% (4-15) performance from the free-throw line in the first half, Webster shot 93% (14-15) to help secure the victory.
Ahmad Smith (JR, St. Louis, MO/Clayton HS) had 16 points on the night for Webster, and Hollis Edwards (SR, Nashville,
