The Threshers were up 35-30 at Halftime, but then had to hold on by their fingertips in the 2nd Half as an Eagles rally fell just short. In the end Bethel College emerged with a tight 73-72 win. The scoring for the Threshers was led by Clifford Byrd II with 16 points. His teammate Jaylon Scott registered a Double-Double with 14 points and 11 rebounds. * THE THRESHERS ARE 2021 CHAMPIONS OF THE KANSAS COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC CONFERENCE *
