Central Missouri sets home wins record

February 26, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Junior guard Alex Moosmann set career highs of 11 assists and seven rebounds to go with his 17 points in leading the No. 12 Central Missouri Mules to an 84-66 senior night win over Missouri Western on Wednesday.

The win also broke the school record for home MIAA wins in a season, going 10-0. The 2006-07 Mules went 9-0 in MIAA play. The 15 overall conference wins also ties a school record set by that 2006-07 team.

Central Missouri (22-4, 15-4 MIAA) got a hot start from senior guard De’Andre Byrd, who tallied nine of the team’s first 13 points. The Griffons (12-14, 9-10 MIAA) quickly closed an early seven-point deficit with a 15-4 run to give them an 18-14 advantage with 12:56 left in the period. Senior guard Lonnel Johnson led the Griffon charge in the early going with eight points, including a couple threes in the run.

The Mules answered with a 14-1 run, started and ended by buckets from senior forward Esian Henderson. That gave UCM a 31-21 lead with 6:06 to go, and it never trailed again, coasting into the half with a 42-33 lead.

The Mules pushed their lead to as many as 17 by the 14:58 mark of the second half and after the Griffons used a 9-0 run to get the margin to five with 8:26 to play,  UCM answered again, this time a 12-2 spurt put them back up by 15.

UCM will travel to Kirksville, Mo. on Saturday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. to face the Truman Bulldogs in the regular season finale.
