         KENOSHA, Wis. - All five Wisconsin-Parkside starters scored in double figures as the Rangers downed Southern Illinois University Edwardsville 70-64 Saturday afternoon in men's college basketball action Saturday.
         With the loss, SIUE falls to 3-5 overall and 2-4 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC). Wisconsin-Parkside is now 7-1 overall and 5-1 in the GLVC.
         Marty Perry and Rob Baumgardner were the leading scorers for SIUE with 16 points apiece. Marlon Grice led UWP's attack with 15 points.
         The Cougars never led in the game and fell behind by seven points at 37-30 by halftime. SIUE cut the lead to one at 42-42 with 15:13 to play as Perry nailed a three-pointer. Wisconsin-Parkside then scored the next six points and regained a seven-point lead.
