Leopards take on Panthers in Big Cat Matchup

LA VERNE, CA — The University of La Verne men's basketball team hosted Chapman University on Saturday afternoon in The Tents, falling to the Panthers, 81-70.

Kason White led the Leopards with 23 points, four rebounds, one assist and one block while James Christian added 17 points and Francisco Muhammad chipped in nine, going 3-5 in three point attempts.

The first half was a back-and-forth battle between the two big cats of the SCIAC. Chapman jumped out to an early 14-9 lead, but La Verne responded. With seven minutes remaining and the Panthers holding a one-point edge, the Leopards took the lead on an Isaiah Bennett driving layup. The momentum swung back and forth for the remainder of the half, with the Leopards holding a slim 33-32 lead heading into halftime.

Chapman came out of the locker room with their claws out, quickly pulling away from the Leopards by outscoring La Verne 15-4 in the opening seven minutes of the second half. The Leopards chipped away at Chapman's lead, cutting the deficit to five at 64-59 with five minutes remaining, but could not complete the comeback.

La Verne (3-13 overall, 1-7 SCIAC) will continue SCIAC play next Wednesday against the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Stags in The Tents at 7 p.m.
