Coe men snap skid behind Wirth's 30

DECORAH - Andrew Wirth tied the Coe record with eight 3-pointers and scored 30 points to lead Coe to a 75-61 win over Luther on Wednesday in Iowa Conference men's basketball.

Coe (10-12, 2-9) snapped an eight-game losing skid.

Wirth tied the school mark for 3-pointers held by three others. The last to do it was Josh Stanek in 2002.

Wirth also had the first 30-point game for a Coe player since Kyle Kuenstling scored 32 against Washington, Mo., in December of 2007.

 

Coe used a 19-0 run to build a 37-10 lead with 7:15 left in the first half. Wirth scored 10 points during the run.

The Kohawks led 44-28 at halftime. Luther got as close as five points in the second half before Coe pulled away for the win.

JT Vonderhaar added 17 points for the Kohawks.

Cale Austin's 14 points led Luther (14-8, 6-5).
