MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Five players scored in double figures as the Greensboro College men's basketball team defeated the Hawks of Huntingdon College Saturday, 91-67.
 
With the game tied at 5, Greensboro used an 18-5 run to jump out to a 23-10 lead halfway through the first half. Simeon Howard and Joseph Gatling each tallied one three-pointer during the run, while Hamilton Hawkins, Parris Scales, and Lorenzo Marry recorded at least one basket.
 
The Pride then extended its lead over Huntingdon to 40-27 at the break.
 
After trading baskets over the first five minutes of the second half, Greensboro established a 68-39 lead following a 16-2 spurt. Greensboro tallied 12 points during the run off three-point shots. Torrence Outing, Zedric Barnett, Hawkins, and Howard each tallied a three-pointer.
 
For the remainder of the game the Hawks could not get any closer than 24 points as the Pride sailed to the victory.
 
"Today was the best game we have played this season," Head Coach Bryan Galuski said. "Every conference game is extremely difficult, but every road conference game is even more difficult. We had 22 assists tonight, which I feel was a big reason for our win today.
 
"Parris Scales was outstanding, while Joseph Gatling and Simeon Howard played their best all-around games this afternoon. Both Simeon and Joe had five assists, which shows that they both can not only be dynamic offensive threats, but players who make their teammates better. I was also very impressed with the play of Hamilton Hawkins and Lorenzo Marry as they both gave us big productive minutes. Our consistent focus and intensity throughout today was the difference. As a staff, we are looking forward to getting back to practice and preparing for our next home conference game on Wednesday."
 
Parris Scales finished with a game-high 18 points and 12 rebounds, while Gatling (12), Howard (14), Hawkins (11), and Marry (10) each recorded double-figure points.
 
The Pride tallied 22 assists on 31 made shots from the field.
Andre Ashley paced the Hawks with 15 points and seven rebounds.
 
The Pride men will return to action at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday when they host North Carolina Wesleyan College. For more information on Greensboro College men's basketball, continue to follow www.greensborocollegesports.com.
