CAEN, France - The second day was a full day for the Blue Demons in France that saw a trip to Mont St. Michel and a loss in the first game of the tour to Caen Cavaldos. Day two ended back in Caen for the final night there before a Normandy beach tour and trip back to Paris on Thursday.



The travel party boarded the bus with driver Joop Timmers around 9:30 a.m. local time Wednesday and made the two-hour trip south to Mont St. Michel. A warm and sunny day greeted the team as they climbed the steps and toured one of Europe's top attractions.



After finishing up at Mont St. Michel and a meal, the team arrived in Avrantes after a short drive for the 8 p.m. game against Caen Cavaldos. A sold out, hot gym was ready for the game and the home team came out firing on all cylinders.



Myke Henry put DePaul ahead early with the lone three-pointer of the night for the Blue Demons before Caen warmed up and led by 15 at the end of the first period. Caen didn't let up and finished the first half with eight three's while shooting .621 from the field for a 52-29 lead at intermission.



DePaul made a run to close the deficit in the third period, but Caen knocked down back-to-back three's to pull away and finish the game with a score of 96-62. Henry led the Blue Demons with 17 points while Peter Ryckbosh and Darrick Wood each added 10 points. Rashaun Stimage and Henry led the way on the boards with nine rebounds while Eli Cain scored nine points with four rebounds and three steals.



The team is scheduled to visit the Normandy beaches on Thursday morning before making the afternoon bus ride to Paris. Upon arriving in Paris, the group will visit the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Church of Saint Gervais and Place des Vosges.
