CALDWELL, Idaho – A 25-3 second half run broke a 31-31 tie, as Lewis-Clark State won the Domino's Classic title, topping the College of Idaho, 76-56, on Idaho Appreciation Night inside the J.A. Albertson Activities Center.
The Coyotes (6-2) missed their first 10 shots from the field and made just 31-percent from the game – yet used a 3-point from
Nate Bruneel and a free throw from
Connor Desaulniers to pull even with the NAIA Division I Warriors early in the second half.
LCSC (8-0) answered in a big way, as Josiah Westbrook hit a pair of 3-pointers and Damek Mitchell scored 10 of his 15 points in the eight minute run, as the visitors broke open the game.
Jalen Galloway had 15 points and Charles Elzie scored a career-high 10 points for the Yotes – as the C of I bench scored 30 of their 56 points.
The Warriors made 57-percent of their second half field goals, with Jake Albright scoring 15 points, with nine rebounds and five assists; Travis Yenor logging 14 points and seven boards and Westbrook finishing with 11.
C of I returns to action next weekend in California with games at The Master's and Vanguard.
