COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Capital University men's basketball team fell by a final score of 85-55 at the hands of No. 1 ranked Trine University on Sunday afternoon. 

The Comets now rest at 3-3 on the year, while Trine improves to 7-0. Capital will now turn their sights toward the OAC schedule for their next three games before playing their final non-conference game over winter break. 

The story of the game proved to be an efficient afternoon of shooting and strong defense from the visitors as Capital struggled to connect on their opportunities while also turning the ball over 20 times. Capital managed just 33% of their field goals, while the Thunder converted 50% of their attempts as well. 

In the end, Cade Davies and Dom Moegerle led CU with eight points each. Daryl Cooper and Se'Ron Calloway-White were the team's leading rebounders with four each. 

McKane Finkenbine led in the assist department with four, followed by Moegerle with three. Alex Eyink and Justin Nixon each had two steals, while Nixon had a pair of blocks.

Capital will conclude their homestand as they open conference play on Wednesday, December 4th at 7 p.m. The Comets will host Heidelberg University in their OAC-opener.
