Four Players in Double Figures Lead the Rangers to a 73-59 Victory over Concordia-St. Paul

St. Paul, Minn.: Four players score in double figures as the Regis men's basketball team stifles the Concordia-St. Paul offense in a 73-59 victory.  Regis used a 10-2 run midway through the second half to open up a double-digit lead and hit their free throws down the stretch to win going away.

A dunk by Chris Hamblin gave Concordia-St. Paul (5-5) a 19-18 lead and over four minutes later, in which neither team scored, junior Curtis Mitchell gave Regis (5-4) the lead back for good with a jumper.  Regis went into halftime with a 34-29 lead after senior Matt Rosinski hit one of his four three-point baskets with just 19 seconds remaining.

Regis led by double digits for most of the second half and hit 11-of-16 in the last two minutes to secure the 14-point victory.

Regis was able to win the battle of the boards 40-31 including 15 offensive rebounds.  The Rangers were also an efficient 6-for-12 from downtown.  

Rosinski led the Rangers once again in scoring with 26 points and also had four steals and four assists.  Junior Jordan Martinez-Doublin chipped in with 16 points, while junior Matt Busch came off the bench to pump in 11 points.

Sophomore Chris Johansen registered his first career double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.  Eight of his 11 rebounds were on the offensive end of the court.
