The men came into the night with a 14-game winning streak that Sac City brought to an end as the Panthers defeated the Mustangs 79-74.

Throughout the game, Monteiro played well making dunks and blocking the opposing teams shots.

“We have already won the league, right now we’re getting ready for the playoffs,” said men’s Head Coach Rich Ressa.
