Yesterday the PIU Tide took their 2-0 record into the contest with Abundant Life Church, hoping to stay undefeated , but instead received their first setback 48-44. PIU took an early 10 point lead and maintained it into the early part of the 2nd half.
However the team came out a little flat in the 2nd half and the ALC team kept chipping away at the lead until they tied the score with about 2 minutes left. ALC took a brief lead at 42-40 with a minute left but Mike Ihpa re-tied the game with two clutch free throws. ALC scored the game winners on a break away layup and two free throws of their own. The second half was an exciting back and forth contest that kept us on the edge of our seats.
The half time show this week was particularly entertaining as Michael (Phil and Celia's grandson) and Titus put on a basketball skills demonstration. Courage ran around and showed us some very athletic moves but nobody is sure about what game she was playing.
Win or lose it is always fun to go to the games and hang around with the students and staff. You can see that we all have our game faces on. Next week PIU will try to get back on the winning track against Touchpoint at Noon at the Tamuning gym.
