MARYVILLE, Tn. – The Greensboro College men's basketball team completed a perfect weekend swing as it defeated the Scots of Maryville College Saturday, 91-76.
 
Greensboro (12-7, 6-2 USA South) established a 9-4 lead six minutes into the contest following a 7-0 run. Torrence Outing started the run with a long three-pointer before Simeon Howard, who scored a game-high 23 points, and Parris Scales each tallied one bucket.
 
After tying the game at 17, Maryville (12-7, 3-5 USA South) briefly gained the lead before the Pride used another run to pull out in front, 26-20.
 
Greensboro then led by as many as nine points for the remainder of the first half, holding a 35-28 halftime advantage.
Following the intermission, The Pride quickly pushed its advantage to 42-28 following a 7-0 run just 45 seconds into the second half. Howard hit his third three-pointer of the game to start the run before Joseph Gatling and Scales pushed the Greensboro advantage to 42-28.
 
Greensboro established its largest lead of the game at 65-47, following a Donavan Griffith free throw, before going on to win 91-76.
 
"Hamilton Hawkins followed up his solid performance form last night as he once again did a great job guarding a very tough Spencer Shoffner for Maryville," Head Coach Bryan Galuski said. "As a team, we have to improve at times with handling hostile environments like we experienced this weekend.
 
"Any time you can create opportunities by limiting the opponent to just one shot, you have a great chance of winning the game. Our guys did a real good job of this tonight, and I was really proud of the way they went after every loose ball."
 
Griffith and Scales each added 19 points on the night, while Hawkins passed for a game-high five assists.
 
The Pride men will return to action at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday when they travel to take on the Panthers of Ferrum College. For more information on Greensboro College men's basketball, continue to follow www.greensborocollegesports.com.
