Despite the Highlanders constant offensive attack in trying to chip away at the

scored 10 points on the night. Filling in at the Point Guard position in
the absence of Corky McMullen (Sr. Castile,

“In
order for us to capture the victories we need, we must be committed to play all
40 minutes with our leaders stepping up”, said Head Coach Brad Zarges.

Highlanders look to improve their overall record of 7-10, 0-4 in the AMC on
Friday, January 26th at Myers University in Cleveland, OH with the

Houghton College
has deep
and
solid
roots in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, where our
teams use their commitment to excellence, both on the field-of-play
and
in the classroom, as a platform for their strong and
unique emphasis on Sports Ministry. Their goal is to make a difference
for the Kingdom
on campus, in Allegany County,
in the Northeast and
around
the world.
Houghton is one of only 13 institutions who have been hand-selected
by the NAIA to serve as "Champions of Character" Program Centers, opening the door
for Houghton to be a leader,
both in the Northeast and
nationally, in character education.
Through hands-on,
innovative community outreach initiatives, Houghton coaches and
student-athletes
are working together to change the culture of sport and
to change our culture through sport.
