MEQUON, Wis. – Mitchell Schneider joined the illustrious 1,000 point club on Saturday afternoon and the Men's Basketball team cruised to a 90-68 Northern Athletics Conference victory over Aurora University inside the R. John Buuck Field House.
Schneider (New Holstein, Wis.) finished the game with 12 points and became the 13th member in men's basketball history to join the 1,000 point club on a 12-foot jumper from the baseline in the second half. He also finished the game with a season-high six assists.
"Depth has always been a strength of ours," head coach Shawn Cassidy said. "We are going to find the best combination on the court and play as hard as we can every possession. The best thing about our team right now is our unselfishness. Every night a different guy steps up to lead us on either end of the floor."
CUW (7-2, 4-1 NAC) led by six at halftime (45-39) and put the game out of reach for Aurora (4-5, 1-2 NAC) midway through the second half. The Falcons pushed their advantage to 20 points with 5:59 remaining in the game on Schneider's jumper. CUW led by as many as 25 in the victory.
