PORTLAND, Ore.—After setting a school record with 132 points in a game last week, the Concordia men's basketball nearly matched the total again with a 117-67 win over New Hope Christian on Thursday.
Five Concordia (5-1) players reached double figures against the Deacons with
Willy Ligon (Corona, Calif./Centennial H.S.) and
Adam Herman (Vancouver, Wash./Prairie H.S.) leading the team with 21 and 20 points respectively.
Kory Kirwan (Hillsboro, Ore./Glencoe H.S.) and
Thomas Pierce (Gary, Ind./Roosevelt H.S.) added 18 each while
Marquis Matthews (Spanaway, Wash./Bethel H.S.) registered 10 points in the blow-out win.
The Deacons kept the game close through the first nine minutes of play, even tying the contest at 16-16 on a pair of Cody Dismukes free throws at the 12:52 mark. A
Thomas Pierce (Gary, Ind./Roosevelt H.S.) jumper with 6:57 remaining, however, gave the home team a double-digit lead that it would not relinquish.
Up by 14 at the half with the score 53-39, the Cavaliers turned up its defensive intensity over the final 20 minutes, holding the Deacons to 29 percent shooting out of the break to go on to the 50-point win. The point differential was the most by a CU team since a 116-61 win over Portland Bible College in 2011.
Concordia shot 56.6 percent from the floor with Herman going 8-of-9 from the floor and Pierce 8-of-12. The Cavs outrebounded the Deacons 59-to-28 with Kirwan and
Esvan Middleton (Culver City, Calif./Culver City H.S.) each pulling in 10 boards each.
New Hops was led by 16 points from Nicholas Dillingham, 15 from Alexander Coleman and 13 from Corey Gantt.
Through six games, Concordia is averaging 104 points per game, well above the school record of 90.9 points per game it averaged during the 1990-91 season. The Cavaliers resume action on Nov. 23 when it travels to face George Fox University in Newberg, Ore. Opening tip against the Bruins is set for 7 p.m.
