Chicago, Ill.- The Mules were back on the road in unfamiliar territory this afternoon as they took on the University of Chicago. The Mules started slowly but were able to hang around with the hometown Maroons. The Mules took a four-point halftime lead and turned it into a 12-point victory. This victory puts the Mules at 4-0 and drops the Maroons to 3-2. 

The first half saw the Mules start slowly as they struggled to hit shots. However, the Mules scoring came from a familiar face. Freshman Max Poulton continued his strong start to his Colby career and led the Mules in the first half. Poulton led all Mules with 14 points and was complemented by 9 points from Lucas Green. This production was helped by 11 points off turnovers and strong bench production.

The second half saw more productivity as the Mules could gain separation from the Maroons and extend the lead to 12. In the second half, the Mules were led by 13 points from Will King, with Green chipping in another 7. Stringent defense continued to benefit the Mules, as they turned six turnovers into 10 points. The Mules were led through the game by 17 points from Poulton and King, while Green contributed 16. 

The Mules will continue their season in Chicago tomorrow afternoon when they take on Colorado College at 1 pm.
