The Bears' offense was "flat" alf night and only occasionally showed signs of their earlier potency. The victory was especially sweet for the Mohicgans, since it was the Bears who snapped the Mohicgans unde– feated mark earlier in the year. Joe Serdich led the Polar Bears with 19 points and was followed by Don Howard and Bill Lawson with 16 and 11 points, respectively.

The Moh1cgons Jumped off to on early lead and held a 21-13 edge at the end of the first quorter.The Bears bottled bock to go ahead late in the game when the lead see-sowed bock and forth. The Bears seemed to have the game "sewed up" when they took the lead at 62-61 on a goal by Don Howard and then gained possession of the ball with 32 seconds to go. How– ever, the Bears nemesis, Eddie Hriblan, came out of nowhere to steal the ball and set up lden's late game heroics. The loss ended the Polar Bears' season at 18 wins and 3 losses. Two fine senior ballplayers, Bill Lawson and Dave Cork, ended brilliant three year careers in this game . Don Howard pulls down a rebound despit a Moh1cOn honqinq on his arm Eddie Hriblan Bears.
