Box Score Tweet #DSCmbb

ST. GEORGE – Junior forward Derek Owen (St George, UT/Dixie) led all Dixie State scorers with 14 points coming off the bench, helping the Red Storm earn its 11th straight victory, 77-59 over Cal Baptist in front of 2,135 fans inside the Burns Arena.

Dixie State improved to 18-4 on the season and 13-1 inside the Pacific West Conference.

McKay Massey (Payson, UT/Payson) hit both of his 3-pointer attempts and sank 5-for-5 from the line en route to 13 points while Maurice Cole (Norwalk, CA/Santa Fe) chipped in 11 points and five assists.

The Storm opened the game on an 18-5 run over the first eight minutes after CBU took their only game lead with a free throw, 1-0. Cole began the stretch with a lay-in, Solomon Jensen (Centerville, UT/Viewmont) and Massey added jumper in an initial six-point spurt.

DSC led by as many as 18 points before taking a 38-25 lead into intermission.

CBU's Justus Von Wright led the Lancers (15-5, 9-4 PWC) during a run that cut the Red Storm's lead down to eight points, 44-36 at the 15:23 mark. A quick 5-0 spurt – a Dalton Groskreutz (Santa Clara, UT/Snow Canyon) 3-pointer and two Griffon Jones (Cheney, WA/Cheney) free throws – reinstated the halftime advantage. Von Wright had a game-high 18 points, 13 coming in the second half.

Landon Clegg (Cedar Hills, UT/Lone Peak) converted an old-fashioned three-point play off a Massey assist with 4:16 in the game for the game's biggest cushion, 23 points. Dixie State shot a blistering 13-of-19 (68.4 percent) over the final 20 minutes.

The Lancers were forced into 17 turnovers despite outrebound DSC 31 to 29 for the night. Luke Evans (10 points) joined Von Wright as the only CBU players in double figures.
