ST. BONIFACIUS, Minn. --- Crown Men's Basketball faced the Luther College Norse Tuesday night at the Wild Athletic Center. The Storm fell to the Norse 91-83 despite seniors Gunnar Ledin and Tim Wendel combining for 52 points. Wendel had a double double with 25 points and twelve rebounds, while Ledin added 27 points, eight boards, and a team-high four assists. 

The next leading scorer was the sophomore sixth man Cole Andersen, who had ten points in the game, his first double figures performance as a member of the Storm. Junior Christian Moore and senior Torry Ledin both had nine points in the contest; Josh Royston and Brandon Pratt both made the only shot they took in the contest, and Sawyer Lawhon received his first start of the season. 

Crown shot a perfect 13/13 from the free-throw line but made five less free throws in total than the Norse. The difference in the game came beyond the arc, where Luther made eleven shots on 50% shooting, and the Storm made 10 shots on 27% shooting. Crown looks to rebound on December 4, when they head to the University of Northwestern to start their conference season.
