GREEN BAY – Three players scored in double digits on Friday afternoon but the Wright State men’s basketball team fell 88-77 at Green Bay as Trey Calvin played in his 134th game as a Raider, becoming the all-time leader in games played in Wright State program history.
Friday, the Raiders were paced by 23 points from both Trey Calvin and Tanner Holden, but Green Bay (7-7, 2-1 Horizon) always had an answer down the stretch in the back-and-forth contest.
Green Bay jumped out of the gates to an early 10-point lead before Wright State chipped away throughout the remainder of the first half, going to the break with a 44-40 lead thanks to Calvin’s jumper just before the horn. The Raiders began the second half with nine of the first 12 points to open up a nine-point advantage, later pushing the lead to 10 with 14 minutes to play, but the hosts battled back and tied the score at 60-all. The sides traded baskets for nearly four minutes, with the Raiders taking a two-point lead on Brandon Noel’s layup with 7:30 to play, only to see Green Bay respond with the next 14 points over the next five minutes to gain control.
Calvin tallied 16 of his 23 points in the first half, finishing the afternoon 10-of-23 shooting with a trio of three pointers, while Holden and Noel, who finished with 10 points, each pulled down nine rebounds as the pair combined to shoot 13-of-22 from the floor. AJ Braun just missed double digits with nine points.
