Second-half explosion leads Hawks to road win

Rockhurst exploded for 64 points in the second half in rolling to a 95-76 victory over Lindenwood Thursday night in St. Charles, Missouri.
 
The Hawks, 7-6, connected on 76.7 percent of their field goals (23-of-30) in the second half. Nick Volz (six-of-six) and Quinton Curry (four-of-four) didn't miss a shot in the final 20 minutes.

"We were great in the second half on both ends of the floor," said Rockhurst coach Drew Diener. "Our depth has paid off in the last few games. We had foul trouble that opened up opportunities for guys to get minutes. Guys are capitalizing and staying ready."
 
Rockhurst, which trailed 34-31 at halftime, took the lead for good at 56-53 on a three-pointer by Aidan Clarey at the 11:39 mark. The Hawks outscored Lindenwood 35-21 over the final 10 minutes.
 
"We played some new lineups and saw success," said Diener, who had five bench players combine for 45 points.

Curtis Lewis led the Hawks with 17 points, three assists and two steals. Curry scored 16 points on seven-of-10 shooting. Volz posted 15 points and nine rebounds.

Jake Buchanan tallied 12 points on five-of-eight shooting. Thomas Faber added 11 points and four assists. Clarey scored nine points on three 3-pointers.

The Hawks shot 62.1 percent from the field (36 of 58). Rockhurst outscored Lindenwood in the paint, 44-30.

TJ Crockett led Lindenwood, 6-7, with 25 points. The Lions shot 46.4 percent from the field (26-of-56).

The Hawks play at Missouri-St. Louis on Saturday.
