Beavers win at home against Northwest Tech

Pratt pulls out another close win down the stretch, similar to their previous game against Garden City.  Pratt held Northwest Tech to just 45.1 percent shooting from the field and forced 14 turnovers. Despite trailing early in the game, Pratt was able to keep their composure and battle back to stay in striking distance. After a hard fought first half, Pratt entered half time trailing Northwest Tech by 4 points. Behind 25 points for Fifer and 19 for Taylor, Pratt was able to take control in the second half. Even though Pratt held a 9 point lead in the final few minutes, this was not enough to count Northwest Tech out. Tech makes 2 late 3 pointers to tie the game up with 7 seconds remaining. Pratt gets to the hoop, but misses the layup, only to be tipped in by Furcron, giving Pratt a 2 point lead with 2 seconds to go. Northwest Tech misses a half court heave at the buzzer, and Pratt secures their second victory in a row 78-76.
