HOME OF BULLDOG MEN'S BASKETBALL - 18 SCIAC Championships

The University of Redlands men’s basketball team traveled to Caltech on Saturday night for the final Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) doubleheader of the season. After the women dismantled the Beavers, the Bulldog men’s team followed suit with an 87-72 showing.

By shooting 52.6% from the field in the first half, the Bulldogs held a 20-point advantage at the break. In addition, Redlands utilized 12 players on the floor with seven of them scoring at least one point.

The Bulldogs looked to the impressive shooting of junior guard Andrew Maertens (Salt Lake City, UT) to lead the way. He went 8-for-11 and made all four of his three-pointers for a game-high 20 points.

In addition, four other players provided double-digit scoring. Sophomore forward Matt Dietrich (Phoenix, AZ) supplied 19 points on 7-for-11 shooting to go along with five rebounds and four assists. Junior guard Patrick Coffey (San Carlos, CA) came up with 18 points, going 9-for-12 from the charity stripe. He also distributed four assists and made three steals in the victory. Senior forward Travis Miller (Coto de Caza, CA) and sophomore center Andrew Mills (Newcastle, WA) each chipped in 10 points.

The Bulldogs (9-15, 5-8 SCIAC) host Occidental College on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. for Senior Night as they celebrate Miller in his final home, regular season game.
