Fueled by an outstanding defensive effort against the shooters of Black Hills State, we put together a big 17-3 run with just over 14 minutes to go in the 2nd half and pulled out a DAC Tournament semi-final's game victory, 84-67. We were up by only 1 point at halftime, 42-41, but were able to hold Black Hills to only 26 points in the 2nd half.
Both Jordan Olson and Kyle Iverson had double-doubles tonight, as Olson had 22 points and 10 rebounds, while Iverson brought in 16 points and 12 rebounds.
Jake Holen had a record-breaking performance of his own. With his 17 points in the game, he now holds the Jamestown College single-season scoring record with 643 points this season. He passed Beau Hensel’s total of 637, which he recorded back in 2001-02. Holen is now 4th on the career scoring list with 1,607 points, nine behind No. 3 Steve White (1616 from 1973-77).
We also had a strong performance from our bench players, led by Andy Bachmeier's 6 points and 4 assists.
Also of note was the relentless defensive effort our guards did on Black Hills' 2 shooters. Kellen Bubach, along with Bachmeier and Evan Savageau deserve some great credit for holding Atkinson (16.0ppg average) to just 4 points and Emmerson (16.6ppg average) to only 9.
With the win, the Jimmies advance to the DAC Tournament Championship game, which will take place on Sunday, March 1st at the Jamestown Civic Center at 3pm against Minot State.
