Box score

INDIANAPOLIS- Rockhurst used an efficient perimeter shooting performance in taking a 94-80 win at Nicoson Hall Saturday afternoon in Great Lakes Valley Conference play.  The Hawks made 11 shots from beyond the arc and had five players score in double figures en route to the victory.

UIndy's Keith Radcliff had the hot hand in the first half, hitting on four long balls and collecting 16 points before halftime.  His first two three-pointers were big as the visitors ran out to an 8-0 lead before Radcliff hit from the right corner as the shot clock expired to give UIndy its first points.  He followed later with a deep triple from the left wing, closimng the margin to a single point.  

The teams traded leads with the momentum looking to be in the favor of the Greyhounds after Radcliff relayed a steal up court to a streaking Tristan Rogers on the fastbreak, who threw it down with two hands for a 26-25 UIndy lead with just over six minutes left.

Radcliff connected for his third triple of the opening stanza on the next Greyhound possession, but it would be the final points for a three-minute span for the home team.  Rockhurst was able to mount a nine-point advantage during the dryspell, their biggest lead of the half, and would take a 42-34 lead into halftime.

The Hawks' lead would reach 14 before Radcliff converted a three-point play on a drive to the bucket and the ensuing free throw.  Aaron Hill responded with a deep three to reclaim the 14-point edge, but UIndy came right back with a Larry Woods bucket and a Rogers transition three to close within 10.

Hill remained a nemesis to the Hounds, hitting his fifth triple, part of his team-high 25 points.  He hit 5-of-6 three point tries, aiding the Hawks' solid effort from deep (11-of-21).

Radcliff led all scorers with 26 while Woods added 21 points and seven rebounds for the Greyhounds.

The Hounds travel to Drury Thursday and Missouri S&T Saturday.  Tip time Thursday is set for 9:00 p.m. Eastern from Springfield, Mo.
