The Umpqua RiverHawk Men's basketball team found themselves trailing the Roadrunners from Linn-Benton Community College by a score of 34-33, at the half, but rallied to out-score the Runners 41-31 in the second half, to win 74-65.

Eric Klekas led the RiverHawks in scoring with 24 points on the night, including deep 3-pt basket that looked like it was made from just south of Sutherlin. Conner Shaw also scored in double figures with 19 points and point guard Ethan Betts with 15 points and 6 assists.
