Everyone inside the Jamestown Civic Center tonight was treated to an offensive showcase by senior guard Jake Holen. Holen led our team to a 98-89 victory over Minot State with a barrage of impressive long range shooting and drives to the rim. He finished with 40 points, while going 12 of 16 from the field and 4 of 6 from 3 point land. "Mr. Holen" as he's now refered to by his teammates (Jake has begun student teaching this semester to complete his Education degree requirements) was also 12 of 15 from the free throw line.
Minot State showed some defensive pressure throughout the game, and we were forced to sharpen up our motion offense, and attack them with our post play. We were up 15 pionts halfway through the 2nd half, when Minot State went on a bit of a run. They cut the lead to 3 with under 3 minutes to play, but would get no closer the rest of the night.
Senior Kyle Iverson added 20 points (10 of 14 from the field, including 2 huge two-handed dunks off assits from Holen) 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, while senior Jordan Olson (who hit the clutch 3 point shot with 3 second left last weekend to beat SD Tech) provided a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Senior point guard Ryan Thompson had 9 points and 6 assists.
Our team is now 13-5 overall and 3-1 in Dakota Athletic Conference. We face Dickinson State tomorrow night at 6:00pm.
