The Riverland men’s basketball team tallied its fourth straight victory when it hung on to beat Western Technical College 83-80 in Riverland Gym Monday.

The Blue Devils (8-6 overall) led by as many as 19 in the first half, but found themselves up just two at the half and they trailed by four with seven minutes left in the game.

“A lot of guys stepped up and did a lot of things for us,” RCC head coach Dan Swift said. “We led big early, but we had way too many turnovers and it turned into a two point game pretty quick.”
