leason at Luther. Jeff Frantz, El-
liott Hibbs, Tom Hill, and Mike

close {or the first eight minutes
but were outscored 32-18 in the
last twelve minutes to take a fif-

Although Luther substituted fre-
uuently after Intermission. the
Pioneers were never able to close
the gap.

unhappy about the Pioneer do
iense. With the Pioneer offense
starting to roll into gear, Plitsch
feels the team can pull some sur-
prises if the defense jells.
