HELENA, Mont. - The Carroll Men's Basketball team picked up their second win in as many days, blowing past Keyano College (Can.) 92-59 on Monday evening at the PE Center in Helena.
Following Sunday's big win over Alberta-Augustana, the Fighting Saints (5-8) picked up right where they left off in another 30-plus point win, this time against the Huskies.
The Saints began the game on a 9-0 run, spurred by five quick points from
Isaac Round (Northampton, England / FR) and never looked back. Four different times in the first stanza, Carroll held a lead as large as 14 points, and a pair of late-half free throws from
Isaiah Crane (Portland, Ore. / R-FR) would extend the Carroll lead to 16 heading into the halftime break, 47-31.
Eight different Saints scored in the first frame, led by
Isaiah Moore's (Fairfield, Calif. / JR) 10-point four rebound half. As a team, the Saints shot 46 percent from the field, out-rebounded the Huskies 22-16, and had six fewer turnovers in the opening half (CC - 7, KC - 13).
James Lang (Portland, Ore. / R-JR) scored 12 second half points and the Saints went 17-33 from the floor as a team (51 percent) as Carroll rolled to a comfortable win for the second-straight day.
In total, 10 different Saints found their name in the scoring column, led by Lang's game-high 20-point, five rebound performance.
Derek Kramer (Bellevue, Wash. / JR) scored 10 and pulled down a team-high seven rebounds, while
Josiah Cuaresma finished a nice night with eight points and six rebounds in the win.
Five Saints posted double-digit scoring figures, led by Lang's 20, Moore's 14, Round's 12, and Crane and Kramer each scoring 10.
The Huskies were led by Yasser Abdullahi's 14-point, four rebound performance in the loss.
The Carroll Men will now shift focus to the Frontier Conference slate of games, as they host Providence to open up league play on Saturday at 4 p.m. in the PE Center.
