ATLANTA – The Birmingham-Southern men's basketball team came up short on the road at Southern Athletic Association rival Oglethorpe on Sunday afternoon, falling to the Stormy Petrels 72-67.

Jumping out to a seven-point lead early in the game, the Panthers went down by four at halftime. BSC continued to keep it close in the second half, retaking the advantage with a one-point lead with less than 10 minutes to play. However, a quick run by the Stormy Petrels late doomed the Panthers, who were down by five points at the final whistle.

Four different Panthers finished in the double digits in points with junior forward Christian Stewart (Irondale, Ala./Shades Valley HS) leading with 14 points. Senior guard Calvin Bak (Muscle Shoals, Ala./Muscle Shoals HS) and Evan Sigler (Franklin, Tenn./Franklin HS), who came off the bench, finished with 11 points. Junior Conor O'Sullivan (Tower Cork, Ireland/Cork Institute of Technology) had 10 points.

With the loss, Birmingham-Southern drops to 5-13 overall and 1-6 in the SAA. The Panthers return home for their next game against Berry on Friday, Jan. 24. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m.
