Big first half carries IPFW past Dartmouth

Staff, news services

HANOVER, N.H. – Isaiah McCray scored a career-high 18 points as IPFW made a 13-point halftime advantage hold for a 70-66 nonconference win over Dartmouth on Saturday.

The Mastodons (4-3) never trailed.

They opened the game with a an 11-2 lead that stretched to 22-13, then rolled to a 37-24 halftime advantage. IPFW dominated the first half, closing with three consecutive Luis Jacobo three-pointers and Joe Edwards’ layup to set the 13-point advantage.

The double-digit lead held through the first three minutes of the second half before the Big Green (1-2) began to chip away. Dartmouth closed the gap to 66-63 on Alex Mitola’s jumper with 2:40 left. After McCray hit a pair of free throws, Dartmouth’s Jvonte Brooks hit a foul shot and John Golden two more to close the gap to 68-66.

But free throws by Edwards and McCray and a pair of missed three-point attempts for Dartmouth ensured the IPFW win.

In scoring his career-high 18 points, McCray was 6 of 7 from the floor, hit his lone three-point shot and was 5 of 7 from the free throw line.

Mario Hines added 15 points for the Mastodons, while Jacobo had 13 and Frank Gaines had 12.

IPFW plays Wednesday against Navy in Annapolis, Md., at 7 p.m.
