Riverland guard Brian Voigt missed just one shot inside the three-point line as he led the Blue Devils to a 75-72 victory over Minnesota West in Worthington Wednesday night.
Voigt, a sophomore from Southland, scored 24 points, was 8-for-12 from the field, 4-for-7 on threes, and 4-for-4 from the free throw line.
“Brian had a monster game for us,” RCC head coach Dan Swift said.
RCC (9-13 overall, 2-5 MCAC South) led by 14 with 10 minutes to go in the contest, but Minnesota West (4-15 overall, 1-7 MCAC South) hit a flurry of threes to pull closer and even take the lead in the last three minutes.
The Blue Devils survived by hitting 88 percent (21-for-24) of their free throws on the night.
“They were chipping away and we were fortunate enough to knock down our free throws,” Swift said.
RCC scoring: Brian Voigt, 24; Khirey Floyd, 12; Josh Davis, 11; AJ Kortz, 9; Derek Hahn, 8; Taylor Morgan, 6; Shakir Gregg, 5; field goals: 41 percent (24-for-59); three-pointers: 30 percent (6-for-20); free throws: 88 percent (21-for-24)
