Yankton, SD – The Hastings College men's basketball team got back in the win column with a dominant road win over Mount Marty 76-53 on Wednesday night inside Cimpl Arena.
Reggie Thomas was a man on a mission to start the game as he got the game going with a driving layup. After the Lancers tied it up, Thomas broke free again with a tough layup to make it 4-2. Thomas then drilled a mid-rage jumper from the wing to make it 6-2 as Hastings began to roll. Thomas then drove to the lane and found Danilo Matovic wide open at the low block for the easy layup and the 8-4 lead.
Grady Corrigan the swung the ball out to Tyrique McMurrin as his three hit all nylon and then Nolan Sughroue buried a three from the wing as Mount Marty was forced to call a timeout trailing 14-4.
After the Lancers got a three, Motovic answered with a tip in and then McMurrin broke free for a layup to make it 18-7.
