Sophomore guard Kellen Owens also had a great night scoring 19 points and hauling in five rebounds while Cash Harris had eight points. Senior center Oliver Sandor was able to utilize his 6-8 size and grabbed eight rebounds off the bench for the Stallions including two on the offensive end.

Senior forward Garrett Brehmer had a good all around game as well with six points, six rebounds and two assists. Venice senior guard A’Jonn Mitchell had a team high 16 points while playing the entire game but the Stallions’ duo of Jensen and Owens proved to be too much.
