The St. John Woodchucks's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Thursday after their sixth straight defeat. They fell 64-54 to Park River/Fordville-Lankin. St. John was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Aggies apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in January of 2017.

Perhaps the best among those players was Cashmyn Belgarde, who scored 16 points along with seven rebounds and three steals. The team also got some help courtesy of Simon LaRocque, who scored 13 points along with five rebounds.

St. John will head out on the road to take on the Bearcats at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. The timing is sure in North Star co-op [Cando/Bisbee-Egeland/Munich/Starkweather]'s favor as the squad sits on four straight wins at home while the Woodchucks have been banged up by four consecutive losses on the road. Park River/Fordville-Lankin will take on the Polar Bears at 7:30 p.m. on Monday. Hopefully Larimore focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up 12 on Thursday.
