UCC Riverhawks Mens Basketball 67-64 Mt Hood

With the clock winding down and trailing by two, the Riverhawks somehow found a way to score five unanswered points in the final minutes to steal a 67-64 victory at Mt Hood on Tuesday night. The dramatic comeback capped a gritty road performance for UCC's men's basketball team in non-conference action.

The three-point margin hardly tells the story of what appeared to be a back-and-forth battle throughout the evening. For a Riverhawks squad that entered the contest with an impressive 26-6 overall record, this type of road test against Mt Hood provided exactly the kind of challenge that could prove valuable down the stretch.

While the Saints played the Riverhawks tough on their home court, UCC's ability to execute in crunch time made the difference. The victory showcased the mental toughness that has become a hallmark of this Riverhawks team throughout their successful campaign.

The win keeps UCC's momentum rolling as they continue to build toward postseason play. At 26-6, the Riverhawks have established themselves as one of the premier programs in the region, and performances like Tuesday's demonstrate why they've earned that reputation.

UCC will look to carry this hard-fought road victory into their next contest as they continue fine-tuning their approach for what promises to be an exciting finish to the season.
