Behind a career-best 32-point effort from graduate student guard Mitch Prendergast, Case Western Reserve University built a 12 point lead halfway through the second half, but 18th-ranked Emory University was able to overcome the deficit, as the Spartans fell 88-84 to the Eagles on Friday night.
The loss dropped the Spartans to 17-5 overall on the year and to 7-4 in University Athletic Association play, while Emory improved to 17-5 with a 10-2 league record. Prendergast's 32 points match the 10th-most in a single game in program history, and are the most in a contest by a CWRU player since T.
