Ottumwa, IA – No. 6 Indian Hills Men's Basketball collected its fifth consecutive win with a 66-45 victory over Marshalltown Community College at the Hellyer Center Wednesday night. The Warriors improve to 20-2 overall and 2-0 in Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) play.
Four starters reached double-figures for the Warriors as sophomore Don McHenry (Milwaukee, WI/Hawaii-Hilo), this week's ICCAC Athlete of the Week, scored a team-high 13 points and grabbed four rebounds. Sophomore Enoch Kalambay (Gatineau, Canada/Orangeville Prep) powered the Warriors down the stretch and finished with his third consecutive double-double. Kalambay tallied 10 points and 10 rebounds in the win.
Freshman Davontae Hall (Chicago, IL/Hyde Park) went 3-5 from three-point range to finish with 12 points. The guard also recorded a career-high four steals to pace the Warrior defense. Ryan Myers (Brooklyn, NY/Iona) added 10 points for his fourth double-digit scoring effort in the team's last five outings.
Marshalltown struck first with a quick 8-2 lead as the Warriors trailed for the first 11:28 of the contest. A McHenry lay-in followed by a three-pointer from the guard put the Warriors on top 22-20 with under eight to play in the opening half. The Warriors pushed the lead to seven, an advantage they carried into the locker room with a 31-24 edge.
The Tigers stayed within striking distance to open the second half until a 14-0 run from the Warriors sparked the offense to a double-digit lead. Five different individuals contributed during the spurt midway through the second half. Back-to-back three's from Hall and McHenry extended the lead to 24 and the Warriors pulled away for the conference win.
