ELMHURST & DECATUR, Ill. - Greenville continued its demanding non-conference stretch with road games against two strong CCIW opponents, ultimately falling at Elmhurst and Millikin.

How it Happened:

On Wednesday night at R.A. Faganel Hall, Greenville battled Elmhurst before dropping a 137–100 decision. The Panthers came out aggressive, scoring 57 first-half points and trading the lead eight times early.

Joseph Schreiber-Rivera led the way with 16 points, while Taiemm Comeaux added 14 points off the bench. Greenville's depth was evident, as the Panthers received 57 bench points and forced Elmhurst to work defensively throughout the night.
