Coe men mis-fire against Simpson

Good shooters are taking good shots, but they are not making them like they did earlier in the season.

That's why the Coe men's basketball team lost Saturday and it's why the Kohawks are riding a five-game losing streak after getting off to a promising start this season.

The Kohawks missed 23 three-pointers Saturday and shot only 38.3 percent from the field in a 69-63 setback to Simpson in a frustrating Iowa Conference game at Eby Fieldhouse.

The setback dropped Coe to 5-8 overall and 0-2 in the league.

"We're on a little bit of an offensive skid right now," said Coe Coach Bryan Martin. "You can't beat teams in our league when you shoot 38 percent. That's how we've shot it the last three games - under 40 percent from the field. That's not going to get it done."
