Spring Hill Badgers bury Central State Marauders, 97-79


MOBILE, Alabama – The Spring Hill Badgers used a 19-2 second half run to cruise to a 97-79 victory over the Central State Marauders on Saturday.


The loss drops the Marauders to 5-19 overall with a 3-11 mark in SIAC play. SHC improves to 7-15 this year and 3-10 in the conference.
 

Entering the game as CSU's leading scorer, sophomore Orion Monford scored the Marauders' first six points before being sidelined with a lower body injury. With just seven active players, the Marauders managed to keep within striking distance with SHC for the majority of the first half. Two Martin Oliver free throws brought CSU to within three points, 41-38, with 2:42 to go in the half. SHC gained momentum by manufacturing an 8-0 run to go up by 11. Randall Clarkson, Jr. converted from three-point range at the end of the half to bring CSU back within eight points as the teams went into their respective locker rooms.

 
After receiving treatment from the training staff, Monford returned to action in the second half, scoring five straight points and helping his team pull even with SHC, 51-51, with 13:50 to play. Led by the play of Justin Allison, SHC took control of the game with the 19-2 run. Allison scored 10 points during SHC's offensive onslaught. The Marauders managed to chip the deficit down to eight as a Tom Johnson layin cut the SHC lead down, 72-64, with 6:57 to go. Allison knocked down a three-pointer on SHC's next possession and the Marauders never recovered. SHC's lead ballooned to as many as 19 and the Badgers coasted to the 18-point win.

 
Allison finished with a career-high 35 points along with eight rebounds and four assists. Brandon Fischer and David Daniels both recorded double-doubles. Fischer grabbed a game-high 17 rebounds to go along with 17 points while Daniels recorded 12 points and 10 rebounds.

 
Johnson led the Marauder offense with a season-high 20 points, converting seven of 11 shot attempts. Monford scored 19 points in 26 minutes of action. Clarkson, Jr. added 13 points off the bench.

 
CSU will host rival Kentucky State next Saturday.
