Chargers maintain undefeated streak at home
The Hillsdale College men’s basketball team capped off a three-game win streak at home with a win over Lake Erie College last night, 64-40. Hillsdale remains undefeated at home and is currently No. 1 in the GLIAC.
After a slow-paced start that left the score 24-17 at the half, the Chargers opened the second half with a 10-2 run led by junior center Nick Washburn who started the scoring with a thunderous dunk. Hillsdale’s team play and hustle illustrated what the team is capable of heading towards the GLIAC and NCAA playoffs.
“Lake Erie is a long and athletic team, but we were able to control the game by our rebounding and shutting down their drives,” said senior point guard Tyler Gerber.
Gerber hit a key 3-pointer to stop a potential Lake Erie run, and then seized control with another tremendous 3-point play. The Storm weren’t able to recover, and Hillsdale maintained a comfortable lead for the rest of the game.
In the second half, senior power forward Brad Guinane scored the 1,000th point of his Hillsdale career.
