DAVENPORT,
IOWA- Senior Karl Petersen had a career day to lead the St. Ambrose
Fighting Bees (26-3, 10-1) to their 11th straight victory with a 96-82 win

jumped out to a 21-11 lead in the early going, following consecutive
3-pointers by Matt Fitzpatrick and Ryan Johnson. Waldorf came right back

Waldorf was
able to cut the Bee lead to four with 10:02 remaining, but Petersen scored
nine of the Bees next 13 points to give St. Ambrose a momentum gaining 12
point lead. Waldorf never got the lead into single digits from that point
on and the Bees won their 26th game of the year. The Bees outrebounded
Waldorf 45-32.
