LAS VEGAS, NEV. - Two student-athletes scored a team-best 18 points, but it was not enough as Presbyterian College committed 23 turnovers in the 67-63 loss to Seattle in Las Vegas Friday.

The Blue Hose (0-5) were led by Jake Troyli and Chase Holmes, who each accounted for 18 points. Seattle (4-2) was led by Charles Garcia.

PC played arguably its best offensive game of the year, canning 52.4 percent of its shots from the floor (22-42). Seattle shot just 39 percent for the game, but turned the ball over a mere eight times.

Travis Smith dished out a game-high five assists and tallied eight points. Walt Allen also chipped in eight points while Khalid Mutakkabir also chimed in with six.

The teams played even for much of the first half as the biggest lead was at five, 27-22, by Seattle. However, the lead did not last long as Allen took a pass from Miss for an easy bucket. Troyli then stole the ball and nailed a jumper, whittling the advantage to one. Mutakabbir's charity toss a minute later tied the game for the seventh time.

With just under three minutes to play, Allen hit two foul shots to put PC up 29-27. A 6-0 run by the home team put Seattle up four, but Allen once again connected on a short jumper off a pass from Zach Faircloth for a 33-31 intermission score.

Head coach Gregg Nibert's halftime speech went well as Troyli came out firing. He hit his first two jumpers, giving the Blue Hose a 35-33 lead.

The teams were tied at 41 apiece when Seattle took the lead for good on a lay-up. With 9:42 to play, PC found itself down seven. However, the youngest team in the nation would continue to fight.

Mutakabbir's three-ball sliced the lead to just four. Less than a minute later, Reynolds hit a lay-up to pull the team within two, 49-47.

Seattle built the lead to eight with 6:25 to play and held a seven-point advantage with just 1:36 to go.

Holmes hit two foul shots and Smith drained his three-point shot to pull the team within two with 44 seconds to go. However, Garcia's jumper put the Blue Hose down four with just eight seconds remaining.
