MLC was held to 26 percent shooting in the first half as UW-Superior took a 31-15 lead at halftime. The Yellowjackets had a hot second quarter from the field (63.6 percent) and collected 5 points within the final seconds of the half after knocking down a 3-pointer off of a missed free throw by Kyler Hewitt, who hit an and-one layup just before.
