The Vaqueros ended the half with a 41-31 advantage, keeping the Dolphins at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Despite the 10-point lead, Le Moyne entered the second half with a strong sense of determination. The Dolphins chipped away at UTRGV\u2019s lead, closing the gap to just two points midway through the half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Head coach Kahil Fennell addressed the team\u2019s areas for improvement, emphasizing the need to strengthen their defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><br>\u201cLike I said before, they&#8217;re really talented,\u201d Fennell said. \u201cAnd they can make shots and they put you in a tough position by spreading the floor, so credit to them. But we have to do a better job of preventing teams from shooting 50% from the field for the game and 53% for the field in the second half.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Vaqueros responded by stepping up their defense and maintaining an offensive edge, consistently scoring from beyond the arc. Never giving up their lead and finishing the game with a 97-77 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fennell reflected on the team\u2019s ability to balance defense with offensive strengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cI think because of the way our guys can shoot the ball, defenses really have to chase us over action and it makes things really difficult in that respect,\u201d he said. \u201cSo, as long as we&#8217;re really diligent about, you know, fighting for paint touches and fighting for rim finishes, I think that&#8217;s really where we&#8217;re at our best.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Graduate student guard DK Thorn credited his teammates for boosting his confidence on the court.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cI&#8217;ve been shooting some for the past couple of games,\u201d Thorn said. \u201cAnd they just kept telling me to shoot the ball, and we\u2019ll rebound if you miss it, just keep shooting. So, I just credit my teammates for giving me the confidence and that&#8217;s how I play.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Redshirt junior guard Howie Fleming Jr. spoke about the team\u2019s companionship.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cI think, really for me, it doesn&#8217;t matter if I&#8217;m starting at night,\u201d Fleming said. \u201cHonestly, just being able to go out there and compete with my teammates, I pretty much owe it to the guys for all the hard work we put in.
