PASADENA, Calif. – The University of Redlands men's basketball team (10-2, 2-1) took down the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) 107-82 Wednesday evening on the road.

The Bulldogs dominated on both ends of the floor in the first half. Nathan Mattera had five points and Lucas Gordon four to help Redlands to an 11-0 run in the opening minutes.

A minute short of the midway point of the half Chozen Amadi found Omari Ferguson for a fastbreak layup after Jhace Boston forced a turnover with a steal that helped extend the lead to 15, 27-12.

Caltech were as close as seven at the 8:12 mark before Redlands had a response run of 30-10 that was capped off by a Jake Hlywiak three. That three was the final of six during the run that made it 57-30 at the half.

Opening the second 20 minutes Ferguson got to the cup for a dunk and then found Gordon for a layup for their first 30-point lead, 61-31. Despite the great start, the Beavers responded well, scoring 20 of the next 30 points as the lead was down to 20, 71-51, with 13:16 on the clock.

Gordon, Ferguson, and Derek Sangster, though, put a 6-0 run on the board in less than 90 seconds to end the extended Beaver run.

That response by the upperclassmen helped the Bulldogs maintain a 20 plus point lead the remainder of the game as they won their fifth in the last six.

Seven different players scored in double figures. Donovan Ware led the way with 15 points thanks to five made threes. Hlywiak had 14 points with 12 coming off threes as the two combined for nine of the Bulldogs 17 total threes.
