DICKINSON, N.D.\u00a0 (UJ<\/a>)\u00a0 —\u00a0<\/strong>Mason Walters<\/a> (SO\/Jamestown, ND) had 33 points and nine rebounds to help lead the University of Jamestown men’s basketball team to a 93-69 season-opening win Thursday night over Dickinson State University.<\/p>\n

Jamestown will travel to Presentation (S.D.) College on Tuesday for an 8 p.m. tipoff.<\/p>\n

The Jimmies opened up a 20-7 lead after a Will Cordes<\/a> (FR\/Shakopee, MN) basket at the 12:49 mark, but the Blue Hawks would get within nine points just under four minutes later. John Argue<\/a> (SO\/Houston, TX) gave UJ its biggest lead of the half with a basket to make it 46-28.<\/p>\n

Walters’ second bucket of the second half put Jamestown ahead by 17 and it looked like the Jimmies were easily in control. However, DSU went on an 8-0 run over the next 1:08 to cut the UJ lead to single digits.<\/p>\n

A 7-0 Jimmie run pushed the lead back to 16\u00a0points, but the Blue Hawks answered with 13 of the next 17 points to trail by only seven with 8:09 remaining. Cordes knocked down a three to start a 18-5 run capped off by a Walters three-point play that put the game out of reach. Jamestown shot 19-of-33 in the second half, finishing 37-of-70 for the game.<\/p>\n

Cordes and Marc Kjos<\/a> (SO\/Lake City, MN) each had 13 points and Devon Schultz<\/a> (SR\/Arlington, MN) had 11 points and six blocked shots. Cole Woodford<\/a> (FR\/Redwood Falls, MN) added nine points while Argue finished with six points and seven rebounds.<\/p>\n
