Crookston, Minn. – It was a record setting Wednesday night for Minnesota Crookston men's basketball, who splashed in a school record 21 threes in a 115-53 thrashing of Oak Hills Christian College.
 
The 62 point victory for the Golden Eagles is also a school record for margin of victory. The 115 points scored is also a school record in the Division II record, breaking the previous record of 111 scored all the way back in 2004, a 118-111 loss in overtime to Wayne State College.
 
It would be a great start for the Golden Eagles, who would see Hunter Lorenson (So., G, Lake City, Minn.) and Landon Dimler (So., F, Mankato, Minn.) drain back-to-back long range shots for an early 8-2 lead.
 
Donez Lindsey (Fr., G, Stockton, Calif.) and Kazadi Mukoma, Jr., (Jr., F, Grand Island, Neb.) would score five straight to give the Golden Eagles a 17-5 advantage.
 
Oak Hills would cut the lead to 20-17, but a 10-0 run by the Golden Eagles would extend the lead out to 13.
 
Later in the half, Brayden Carlson (Fr., C, Woodbury, Minn.) would finish a runner and J.D. Roberts (Jr., F, Parkville, Mo.) would splash another three for a 39-23 advantage.
 
Leading 41-30, the Golden Eagles would go on an 18-0 run to push their lead to 59-30, capped off by a Caiden Swenby (So., G, Fertile, Minn.) three from the left corner.
 
Minnesota Crookston would lead by 26 following the first 20.
 
The Golden Eagles would take a 76-38 lead midway through the second half on a Quincy Everson (Fr., G, Goodyear, Ariz.) three-point make.
 
The last six minutes of play would be the Brady Westphal (Fr., G, West Fargo, N.D.) show. The freshman would bury four threes in the final minutes for a career-high 12 points in the 62 point win.
 
The Golden Eagles saw six scorers in double-figures, led by Mukoma, Jr., and his 19 points and seven rebounds. Lorenson finished with a career-high 14 points and a career-high 3-3 from long range. Hunter also dished out a career watermark of five assists Lindsey poured in 13 points. Westphal added a career-high 12 points, while Swenby and Everson each finished with 11 points.
 
The Golden Eagles shot 52.5 percent from the field and were 21-44 from long range and outrebounded the Wolfpack by 30, 56-26.
 
The Golden Eagles will be back on the road next Tuesday night for the conference opener at MSU Moorhead. Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m., from Nemzek Gymnasium.
