Men's Basketball Runs Away With Pentagon Win

FINAL

Dordt defeats Dakota State 88-57

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Dordt Defender men's basketball team never trailed in turning away Dakota State in a non-conference game played in Sioux Falls, South Dakota at the Pentagon on Wednesday night, November1. A 13-0 run extended the Dordt lead to 43-26 at halftime and the Defenders never led by less than 13 in the second half in winning 88-57.

Dordt battled through a sluggish first five minutes and led 7-0 after a pair of Jackson Louscher free throws and a basket by the senior. Dordt extended the lead to 12-2 and it was 10 again at 15-5 before Dakota State got the gap down to 15-12 with 10:42 left in the half. Dakota State hung close and was within 26-24 with 5:41 left in to intermission when Ben Fairclough converted  basket and Bryce Coppock followed with nine straight points.
A Louscher basket made it a 13-0 run for Dordt and the Defenders led by 17 at halftime.





Dordt's lead was 57-37 in the second half after a Lucas Lorenzen three-point shot but a 7-0 run by the Trojans made it appear the game would be closer in the final 14 minutes. Coppock ended the threat with a basket and Jake Hargens converted a dunk and threat was over and Dordt built the lead to 30 and was able to coast in for the win.
