Men’s Basketball

ABERDEEN, S.D. (UJ) — A 16-2 run midway through the second half helped lead the University of Jamestown men’s basketball team to an 80-67 win over Presentation College Tuesday night in non-conference action.

Jamestown held a 37-25 lead at halftime while shooting nearly 50 percent from the field, and led 47-34 after a Cole Woodford (FR/Redwood Falls, MN) free throw at the 15:56 mark.

PC went on an 18-5 run to tie the game at 52 following Denzel McDuffey’s three-pointer with 10:36 remaining. A Mason Walters (SO/Jamestown, ND) layup put the Jimmies back in front, only to have a breakaway dunk by Travez Nyx tie the game again.

Walters scored the next five UJ points, and a three from Marc Kjos (SO/Lake City, MN) made it 62-54 and forced a Saint timeout with 7:07 left. McDuffey sank a pair of free throws to stop the Jimmie streak, but Will Cordes (FR/Shakopee, MN) drained a three on the next Jamestown trip down the court. Devon Schultz (SR/Arlington, MN) put home a thunderous dunk, Woodford made a layup, and Kjos made the back end of a two-shot foul to put the Jimmies up by 14. The Saints would get no closer than 11 points the rest of the way.

Jamestown was led in scoring by Walters with 33 points, with Kjos and Woodford also in double figures with 12. Walters pulled down a team-high nine rebounds while Schultz added eight and blocked a pair of shots.

The Jimmies, now 2-0 this season, host Trinity Bible College at 7 p.m. Friday.
