SOUTHLAND ROUNDUP

Loyola Chicago 73, Cal State Fullerton 59--Cal State Fullerton became basketball road kill again, losing its fifth consecutive game away from home this season.

Before 3,253 at Gentile Center in Chicago, the Titans (5-5) shot only 36.1% from the field and tied their season low for points.

“We weren’t cohesive enough offensively to generate anything,� Titan Coach Bob Hawking said.

It has become a familiar pattern for Fullerton away from Titan Gym. The Titans have lost 11 consecutive games on the road over two seasons since winning at UC Irvine last January.

Guard Chris Dade, who has been Fullerton’s most consistent player and top scorer with a 19-point average, felt the sting this time, swarmed by an aggressive defense from Loyola (8-6).

Dade was held to a season-low five points.
