The Kuyper College Developmental - Purple team lost a heartbreaker on Friday, as they lost on a buzzer-beater to the Tigers of Grace Christian University. The final score of the game was 79-80. 

The Cougars got off to an extremely hot start to begin the game, as they went up 15-2 on the Tigers. However, Grace Christian was able to claw back into the game, and the game was back and forth for much of the second half. 

Corey Pritchett hit a couple huge threes with a couple minutes left in order to tie the game a couple of times for the Cougars. The Cougars were able to get a critical stop with about 30 seconds left in the game, down by 1. Out of the time out, Terrance Murphy converted on a clutch reverse layup. This put the Cougars up 1. However, the Tigers were able to knock down a tough, highly-contested mid range jumper to win the game. 

The Cougars were led by Rylee Carter, who finished with 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists. Terrance Murphy had 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 8 assists. Charrone Gordon had a great game as well, as he had 14 points, 5 rebounds, 2 blocks, on 7/8 shooting. Corey Pritchett also reached double-figures, as he scored 14 points. 

The Developmental - Purple team is now 4-4 on the season, and they will have some time off for Christmas Break. They will return to action on January 10th, where they will head to Kalamazoo to take on Kalamazoo Valley Community College.
