The Quincy University men's basketball team tied the school record for consecutive wins in a 75-63 home win over the
University of Missouri-St. Louis. The Hawks picked up their 15th win of the season, remaining unbeaten, and tying the school mark for consecutive wins along with the 1981-82 team.
Quincy and UMSL played even for the first four minutes of the game until the Hawks went on an 11-2 run to take a 16-7 lead with 12:12 to play.
Hawk sophomore guard Courtney Belger led the way at the start of the game, scoring the Hawks first seven points and 10 of their first 21 points while also handing out three assists.
The Hawks built up a 19 point lead in the first half as Billy Baptist joined in the scoring with Belger with 15 first-half points while Belger had 16 first-half points. Quincy took a 40-24 lead into the break as they held UMSL to just 33-percent shooting in the half.
The Quincy lead grew to 22 points in the second-half but UMSL was able to make the game exciting towards the end, closing the score to 66-59. However a three pointer from Tyler Burke, off Belger's 10th assist of the game, with 1:09 left sealed the Hawk victory. Baptist led all scorers with a career high 26 points while also grabbing a team best 10
rebounds while Belger finished with a career high 20 points and tied his career high with 10 assists.
