If Sacred Heart wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Tri County, they should've done a better job of containing Drew Siems. The Trojans enjoyed a cozy 56-40 win over the Irish on Tuesday thanks in part to Siems, who shot 55% from the field on his way to 22 points along with seven boards and four steals. That makes it three consecutive games in which he has scored at least a third of Tri County's points.

Sacred Heart's defeat came despite a true team effort with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Cole Taft, who posted 15 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Brenden Lemerond, who earned 11 points.

Tri County has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-4 record this season.
