The Dominican University men's basketball team shot better than fifty-percent from the field but turned the ball over 21 times in a 80-72 loss to the Concordia University Wisconsin Falcons on Saturday evening in the Igini Sports Forum.
 
Freshman Tim Robertson (Chicago, Ill.) paced the Stars with 20 points on 8-of-15 shooting in the losing effort.  Rich Bodee (Darien, Ill.) scored 18 points in 24 minutes off the bench while Anoribe Nwannewuihe (Chicago, Ill.) posted the game's only double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds, along with a Dominican University single-game record seven blocks in 25 minutes.
 
Dominican held an early 10-2 lead before the Falcons went on a 29-8 run that spanned 13 minutes and opened a 13-point, 31-18, lead for Concordia Wisconsin with 4:34 to play in the opening half.
 
Concordia Wisconsin carried a 38-26 lead into the break and led by as many as 21 during the first four minutes of the second half before Dominican mounted a comeback.
 
The Stars chipped away at the Falcons' lead, eventually pulling to within seven, 76-69, on Bodee's tip-in with 1:20 remaining but the comeback stalled as the Falcons turned two Dominican turnovers into a pair of transition baskets to finish off the Stars.
 
Brett Boettcher and Bradley Prinsen led the Falcons with 14 points apiece.  Boettcher added eight rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes.
 
With the loss, Dominican falls to 2-20 on the season and 2-15 in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC).  The Stars return to action on Tuesday evening, traveling to Lisle, Illinois, to take on the Benedictine University Eagles.  Tipoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
