The Tritons have had a break from Great Lakes Valley Conference play the past few weeks, but they managed to pick up a road victory over a non-league opponent when they faced off against Wisconsin-Parkside on Dec. 20 in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Senior swingman Jose Grubbs scored a team-high 19 points, senior forward Marty Jackson added 18 and sophomore guard Atavian Butler had 12 off the bench as UMSL won its third straight game. The Tritons (8-2, 2-1 GLVC) had a New Year’s Eve game against Eureka canceled on Friday but will return to conference play when they play host to Maryville on Tuesday. It will be UMSL’s first home game since Nov. 14. Rockhurst and Missouri S&T are scheduled to visit the Mark Twain Athletic Center on Thursday and Saturday, respectively.
