Reserve Austin Esterly hit six 3-pointers and finished with a game-high 25 points, but host Rock Valley grabbed an early first-half lead and defeated the Chaps, 76-65 in N4C men's basketball Wednesday night.
 
Esterly was 8-of-19 from the field and 6-of-16 from 3-point range. He also had six rebounds, three assists and two steals for the Chaps, who had their three-game winning streak snapped.
 
Patrick Shaughnessy was the only other Chap in double figures with 12 points. Khyre Hines, this week's NJCAA Region IV, Division III player of the week, had a rough night with two points hitting just 1 of 18 shots.
 
Abram Ross scored nine, Latron Kirkwood eight and Evan Wagner-Talley seven.
 
The Chaps are at Triton on Saturday for a 3 p.m. tip.
