Hawks glide to victory
(I am finally caught up so will do more full reports)
The hawks came into this game 5-11 facing an 8-8 South Carolina state squad. While on paper the game seemed close an unlikely star arose to push UMES to a nearly uncontested victory.
Sure, there were the common themes, 17 points by Wheless, double digit boards by Lukasiak against a smaller front court, a few assists but also some turnovers from Straight, but noone expected what Danijel Zoric would do.
The Hawks were already playing well up 39-24 at the half but Zoric came into the second quarter with spaulding slowed by a sprained ankle and took over the scoring role in the front court in a big way. He scored 34 of his 40 points in the second half while Hollis Howard on the other side struggled to match his size and physicality.
This is a guy who was not starting at the beginning of the year and is generally more of an opportunistic scorer. Well, today he saw plenty of opportunity. When asked about it after the game he said "Hollis is a good player and I respect his game but I felt there were some areas where I had an edge. Once my shots were falling coach just gave me the green light to go after him"
