January 5, 2008

KUTZTOWN, Pa. — Dave Ben (jr. Coatesville/Coatesville), who was honored in his first game at Keystone Hall since collecting his 1,000th career point on Dec. 29, posted a double-double Saturday as the Kutztown University men’s basketball team routed Indiana (Pa.) 94-65.

Ben scored a team-high 21 points and had 11 rebounds in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference crossover. Ben, who was one of four KU players in double digits, also hit three 3-pointers and had four assists.

Stephen Dennis (so. West Chester/Henderson) scored 20 points, while Nate Edwards (so. Philadelphia/Northeast Catholic) and Andre Woodlin (jr. Philadelphia/Central) each had 14.

KU (6-4) used a 13-3 run to take a 23-13 lead with 10:33 remaining in the first half. The Golden Bears, who shot 48.4 percent from the floor in the first half, extended their lead to 45-25 at halftime.  KU caught fire from the floor shots in the second half, draining 57.6 percent of their attempts.

The Golden Bears hit 8-of-20 3-pointers, including Edwards’ 3-for-4 performance from beyond the arc.

Darryl Webb and Gerald Brooks led the Crimson Hawks (7-4) with 19 and 18 points, respectively. Shooting just 38.8 percent from the floor and committing 19 turnovers contributed to IUP's third loss in its last four games.

The Golden Bears have now won their last three contests against the Crimson Hawks.

KU will return to Keystone Hall at 3 p.m. Sunday for another PSAC crossover contest against Clarion.
