With the loss, the Colonels' overall record drops to 2-15, and their conference record falls to 1-9.

The Colonels opened up to a hot start, shooting 5-for-9 from the field to amass a 13-9 lead just eight minutes into the contest with a Will O'Malley jumper forcing an early timeout by the Rams. The first half of play was truly a team effort with all nine of Curry's players who entered the game scoring at least two points.

The Colonels battled back throughout the second half, with an O'Malley three and Shawn Charles jumper cutting the visitor's lead to 58-53 with just under eight minutes remaining in regulation. From there, the Rams retook control and put the game out of reach for the home team.

Gelinas knocked down for threes to lead Curry with 14 points while Francisco Lopez added 12. Jeremiah Predin went 3-for-4 from behind the arc to finish with nine points while Charles added eight with four assists and four rebounds.
