Ten of Belmont Abbey's 12 players recorded at least two points, led by senior guard Tyshawn Good's 25, as the Crusaders men's basketball team posted its thirteenth straight win over Lees-McRae with an easy 98-74 win this evening at the Wheeler Center. The Crusaders move their record to 13-6 overall and 6-5 in Conference Carolinas, while the Bobcats drop to 1-15 overall and 1-10 in league play.

The early moments of the game was closely played, as Jeremi King's layup at the 11:05 mark tied the game for the fourth and final time, but the Crusaders took control of the game on its next possession as Good gave the Abbey a lead it would never lose with a running layup. Good started a 12-3 Abbey run by scoring the first seven points of the flurry, and it was capped by a Jay Council layup that moved the lead to nine at 29-20 with 8:21 left.

Lees-McRae responded with a run of its own to close the lead to four with 5:28 to go, but the Abbey closed with a 9-4 run to take a 42-33 lead into the break.

The second half was all Belmont Abbey, as it outscored Lees-McRae 56-41 on the strength of a 54 percent shooting effort. The Crusaders outscored Lees-McRae 29-15 in the first eight minutes, punctuated by a thunderous dunk from Darryl Durham-two of his 20 points- to move the lead to 23 at 71-48.

Belmont Abbey's lead rose to as high as 31 on a free throw from Nigel Jackson at the 9:02 mark and from there the lead never dropped below 24 points as every available player saw action and all but two scored.

The Crusaders shot 54 percent (35-64) from the floor as Good, the NCAA Division II leader in scoring average, led all players with 25 points. Durham added 20 on his second-straight perfect shooting effort. Two nights after making all four of his field goals and both free throws at Mount Olive, Durham finished tonight nine for nine from the floor and two for two from the free throw line. He also had nine rebounds. In his last two games he is 13-13 from the field and four for four from the line.

Council added 13 points as his career total is now 990. Terrone Sheffey added 11.

Charles Clarke led the Bobcats with 18 points as Lees-McRae shot 43 percent for the game.
