Alvaro Folgueiras' 23 points not enough in Robert Morris loss at Purdue Fort Wayne

Alvaro Folgueiras’ big day wasn’t enough, as Robert Morris fell 82-77 to Purdue Fort Wayne in conference play on Sunday afternoon at Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, Ind.

Folgueiras, a 6-foot-9 sophomore forward from Malaga, Spain, had one of his best games of the season, tying for the game high with 23 points. It was an efficient performance, too, as he made 8 of his 11 field goal attempts, including 4 of 5 from beyond the arc. Folgueiras also ripped down 12 rebounds.

Kam Woods chipped in 19 points for the Colonials (6-5, 0-2 Horizon League), and Ryan Prather Jr. added 14 points off the bench. Amarion Dickerson also finished with a double-double for Robert Morris, with 10 points and 12 rebounds.
