Chargers Drop Opener to Bees Despite Hise’s Career Night

GALESBURG — Sophomore David Hise put together a huge night for his first career double-double, but the Carl Sandburg College men's basketball team dropped its season opener to St. Ambrose JV 92-86 on Thursday night at John Lewis Gym.

 KEY MOMENTS
• Down 41-36 early in the second half, the Chargers took a one-point lead as freshman Jack DuBois scored six straight points. The Bees, though, strung together a 10-0 run right after that, going ahead 51-42 with 15:13 left.
• A Koen Derry dunk, Hise 3-pointer and Derry three-point play highlighted a 13-5 stretch that got the Chargers' deficit to 78-74 with 4:50 to play, but St. Ambrose responded with an 8-0 run over the next 2:50 to push its lead back to 11.

SANDBURG STANDOUT
Hise led the Chargers in scoring and rebounding, putting up 24 points and 11 rebounds, both of which were career highs. He went 11 of 16 from the field and added a steal as he posted his first double-double in a Sandburg uniform. Hise's previous career-high in scoring was 16 points Dec. 3 last year at Elgin. He had three eight-rebound efforts in his freshman season.
