The Colonels stopped a two-game skid as they jumped to a 16-8 lead after one quarter and pushed the advantage to 35-17 at halftime.
Jay Henderson’s 3-pointer at the second quarter buzzer put a cap on the Colonels’ first-half scoring.

James Farley had a career-high 17 points and Henderson added 16 for the Colonels, who improved to 3-3 on the season. Twelve Colonels scored in the game.
