GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- University of St. Francis got outscored by a combined 35 points in the second halves of its two games at the Davenport Panther Invitational this weekend, with Saturday's 67-53 loss to Kuyper College dropping the Saints to 1-2 in the new season.

After getting outscored 45-26 in the second half of Friday's 80-66 setback to Grace Bible, USF watched as its slim 2-point halftime lead turned into a double-digit deficit in the second half Saturday afternoon against Kuyper (2-1). The Saints shot just 30 percent from the floor for the game but managed just an 18.2 percent shooting mark in the second half (6-of-33). 

The cold shooting resulted in USF being outscored 38-22 for the half.

Only two players were able to score in double figures for USF, with junior forward Greg Leavell (Schoolcraft College/Farmington Hills, MI) and sophomore reserve guard Robbie Butcher (Stagg H.S./Orland Park, IL) each notching 10 points. Butcher was one of just three Saints who hit more than half of his shot attempts as he finished the game 4-for-6 from the floor. Sophomore point guard Derek Ciezczak (Stagg H.S./Hickory Hills, IL) and junior forward Justin Richmond (Highland CC/Waukegan, IL) each made 2-of-3 field goal attempts.

The loss again denied USF veteran head coach Pat Sullivan an opportunity to collect his 500^th career collegiate coaching victory. The Saints' next opportunity to get that milestone win for their coach will be Tuesday when they travel to Chicago to play East-West University.
