Inniger Sparks Men's Basketball in Late Surge
After beginning the season with an all-underclassmen starting lineup and 2-11 record, the Running Cobber basketball team posted 8 wins in their final 10 MIAC games and established themselves as a strong contender to make next year's MIAC playoffs.
Coach Duane Siverson's Cobbers, who finished 10-10 in the MIAC, 10-14 overall, were led by All-MIAC guard Brett Inniger '95 Fargo, ND, and team MVP David Joerger, a sophomore point guard from Staples, MN. Inniger scored 15.1 points per game while Joerger's 5 assists per game led the MIAC.
Junior forwards Kurt Motschenbacher '95 Glyndon, MN (12 points per game), Pete Balmer '95 Theif River Falls, MN (10.3 ppg), and Tony Weick '95 Wheaton, MN (9.1 ppg), rounded out a strong starting cast that returns in tact for next year's campaign.
