Guinane joins the 1,000 point club in Charger win over Lake Erie
Hillsdale 64, Lake Erie 40
February 1, 2012 - The thousand-point club for Charger men's basketball is getting a bit crowded.
Senor forward Brad Guinane became the third member of that
club in the past three weeks, scoring 14 points to lead the 18th-ranaked Charger men's basketball team to a 64-40 win over Lake Erie College Wednesday night at Jesse Philips Arena. The Chargers have won 14 straight home games, and are 18-2 overall and 12-1 in the GLIAC.
Guinane sank two free throws late in the second half, getting to the 1,000-point plateau in the identical way that teammate Tyler Gerber did Saturday versus Michigan Tech. After he made those two shots, the crowd rose in salute, and Guinane's evening was finished with a tidy 14 points and a team-high 10 rebounds.
Along with Brent Eaton, Gerber and Guinane form the first-ever group of three teammates on the same Charger men's basketball team to have scored at least 1,000 points in their career. In the 100-plus year of men's basketball at Hillsdale College, no team has featured three players who each crossed that barrier within the same season. Now, it has.
The game vs. the Storm didn't start out like a work of art, by any means. The two teams played a defensive-oriented, disjointed first half that saw Hillsdale enter the locker room with a 24-17 lead. The Chargers struggled to find the same kind of offensive flow that saw them average 90 points per game in two home wins last week.
But in the second half, Hillsdale looked much more like itself, opening up the half with a 10-2 run to extend the lead into double digits.
The Chargers held the Storm to 29 percent shooting from the floor for the game, and 1-for-16 from behind the 3-point line. Hillsdale enjoyed one of its biggest rebounding advantages of the season in this game, out-boarding the Storm 45-29. Three Chargers had three offensive rebounds apiece in the game.
Sophomore guard Brandon Pritzl made his first four shots from the floor and finished with 13 points. Junior center Nick Washburn had an impressive lefthanded dunk to highlight a 10-point, eight-rebound performance for Hillsdale.
The Chargers will head up to Northwood University for a 6 p.m. game Saturday vs. the Timberwolves. This game starts a three-game road trip for the team until its next home contest on Thursday, Feb. 16.
