Dishing out two assists apiece for the Dutchmen were Evans, Meyer, Payne and Whelan.

Andrew Rethemeyer led New Haven with a double double of 10 points and 14 rebounds.

Andrew Noelke nearly made it a pair of double doubles for the Shamrocks finishing with seven points and 11 rebounds.

Scott Lewis’ Owensville junior varsity Dutchmen opened the FRC doubleheader last Tuesday in Franklin County with a 47-27 victory over New Haven’s JV Shamrocks.
