Marshalltown, IA -- With a 20-point second-half lead shaved to a single point, Indian Hills guard Trey Starks banked in a three-point shot with the shot clock ready to run out and the Warriors went on to knock off previously undefeated DMACC, 64-52, at Marshalltown Community College on Saturday.
Starks' shot propelled the Warriors on a 15-4 run to end the game and gave IHCC its 12th win against two losses.
The final seven IHCC points came at the free throw line in the final minute as the Bears were forced to foul to try to get back in the game.
Kannan Burrage's three-pointer with just under five minutes to play brought DMACC to within one at 49-48. But the Bears made only one basket the rest of the game as their season-opening 11-game win streak came to an end.
Gary Ricks, Jr. opened the second-half scoring with a three to give Indian Hills a 36-16 lead, their largest of the game.
Thirteen points by Burrage and a couple of clutch 3's by Cole Martin fueled the DMACC comeback. The Warriors went cold after DMACC switched to a zone defense and desperately needed the lift that Starks' three-pointer gave them.
Indian Hills scored the game's first six points. DMACC didn't score for over four minutes at the outset and didn't get their second field goal until the 9:00 mark of the first half. IHCC scored the final six points of the half to take a 17-point halftime lead.
Jerome Jones helped the Warriors pull away over the final five minutes when he made five foul shots, part of a 16-point effort for Jones. Trey Starks also scored 16 for the winners. Burrage had 19 to lead all scorers.
Indian Hills returns to Marshalltown for a noon game against Quakerdale Promise Academy on Sunday.
