Witt’s Nowicki a warrior ‘in the athletic vernacular’
The Tigers pulled to within one at 74-73 on a 3-pointer by Nowicki. After Nick Russo made a tough jumper as the shot clock expired to make it 76-73, Nowicki made a layup to bring Wittenberg back within one. Hiram went on to win 79-75.
Brown praised Nowicki’s effort, especially on defense. He guarded Chris Roberts, who came into the game averaging 18.1 points per game, and held him to no points in the first half.
“He played so very hard today,” Brown said. “He was having to take on some physical and sometimes illegal screening action and he never backed down. I’m just amazed that he could hit that big three because of how tired he had to be. In the athletic vernacular, Dave was just a real warrior today.”
Brown said the Tigers will focus on improvement over the next few weeks to gear up for the NCAC tournament - which he believes in wide-open.
“(My) hat’s off to Hiram and (my) hat’s off to our guys,” Brown said. “We were the ones that came up just a little bit short today.”
