HAYS — Rob Davis scored 16 points on his birthday, Craig Nicholson added 14 and Dom Samac 12 to lead Fort Hays State to a key 64-56 win over Lindenwood in front of 2,775 at Gross Coliseum. The Tigers (17-8, 11-8 MIAA) shot only 37-percent for the game but scored 21 points off 16 Lion turnovers to avenge a 19-point loss to Lindenwood (15-10, 11-8 MIAA) earlier this season in St. Charles.

Game Highlights

 

 

The Tigers used an 11-0 first half run to go up 12 and led by seven at halftime. The Lions pulled within two several times in the second half but could never take the lead. Fort Hays saw a nine-point lead trimmed to four with 1:45 to play but they hit all eight of their free throws down the stretch to preserve the win.

Cory Arentsen, the MIAA’s third leading scorer, led Lindenwood with 14 points – all in the second half after being shutout for the 26 minutes.
