ANN ARBOR - A slow start doomed Saline at Ann Arbor Huron Friday, as the River Rats defeated the Hornets 63-56.
The Hornets were down 17-5 early in the game and climbed to within two points, at 58-56, with less than two minutes to play, before Huron pulled away.
"We can’t get into a hole like that against a good team," Saline coach Mike Marek said.
