Falcons lose another close one to Delta

Falcons lose another close one to Delta

Somehow, the Delta College men's basketball team keeps finding ways to win games.  Despite sitting atop the Big 8 Conference by three games at 12-1, the Mustangs have had few lopsided wins. But they keep winning, even if just by a couple points, as they demonstrated again on Friday night with their 86-81 victory over Folsom Lake.  The Falcons nearly toppled Goliath a month ago before losing by one point at Falcon Gym.  This time it was a mere 5 points.  Still, the sting of losing a win-able game lingered for the Falcons.  Sophomore Zethan Dumpson provided a season highlight on Friday night, as he became the first player to score 1,000 career points for the Falcons with his 18-point output against the Mustangs.

The Falcons (9-15 overall, 4-8 in Big 8) will host Sacramento City (5-8 in Big 8) on Tuesday night in Falcon Gym.
