ROHNERT PARK, Calif.- It was a tale of two halves on Saturday as the Urban Knights fell to Sonoma State 77-56.
 
Academy of Art, now 2-2 overall and 0-0 in conference came out of the gate firing on all cylinders. For much of the first half, ART U led the Seawolves (now 4-1, 0-0 in conference) and even enjoyed an eight-point lead in the early goings. However, Sonoma State was able to mount a comeback and take a three-point lead at the half (37-34).

Overall, the Urban Knights were 11-for-16 in three-point attempts (their highest total of the season) and had a .688 three-point field goal percentage. The 3-pointers were not enough however, as the Seawolves landed a total of 14 triples and had an overall shooting percent of .600 in the second half.
 
The Academy of Art had three players reach double digits in points. Senior guard Nick Cary had 12 points and was 4-for-5 in three-point attempts. Junior guard Chris Salas also posted 12 points, going 4-for5 from behind the three-point line as well.
