LINDSBORG, Kan. – Four players scored in double-figures for the University of Saint Mary men's basketball team, but a late push by Bethany College Wednesday night led to a 64-58 loss for the Spires.

Saint Mary would get back into the game and tie the score at 39 with 13:54 left in the game. The Spires then went on a 10-3 run to take a 49-42 lead halfway through the second half.
