CORVALLIS — Despite six different Pirates scoring in Tuesday night’s nonconference matchup, three of which reached double-figures, Polson dropped their road contest against the Corvallis Blue Devils 59-46.

Tanner Wilson scored a team-high 16 points in the loss. Andrew Curley added 12 points and Matthew Rensvolded dropped 10 on the Blue Devils.

Corvallis (4-5 overall, 2-2 Southeastern A) was led by Jayce Gilder’s game-high 21 points.

Just four Blue Devils scored in the game, but Jesse Sims’ 16 points and Andrew Leopold’s 17-point effort were too much for the Pirates to overcome.

Polson (2-6, 0-1 Northwestern A) will look to rebound in a Northwest A contest when they travel to Libby for a 4:30 p.m. tip-off.
