Ottumwa -- With three games in a span of less than 48 hours, the Indian Hills basketball team got its weekend started with a 91-45 demolition of Milwaukee Area Tech on Friday at the Hellyer Center.
It was the first home game for IHCC after six straight road contests and the Warriors will be right back on the road Saturday and Sunday when they play in the Emerson JUCO Challenge in Marshalltown.
Friday's game was decided early when Indian Hills used a 9-0 run to wipeout MATC's only lead of the game. Consecutive field goals by Gary Ricks, the second a three-pointer, ended the run and the Warriors built on the lead the rest of the night.
Riley Stuve pumped in 19 points to lead the Warriors. Stuve, whose previous best scoring effort was five points, had 13 by halftime and punctuated his big game with two threes in the second half.
D.J. Bennett also had his season high, getting 12 points to go along with five blocked shots.
Indian Hills nailed 11 3's for the game, their second straight game with that many three-pointers.
The lead was 20 at halftime and the Warriors outscored the Stormers, 47-21, in the second half.
Indian Hills will take on undefeated DMACC on Saturday in Marshalltown. The Bears are ranked 2nd in the NJCAA Division II poll.
