WARRENSBURG, Mo. (Nov. 26, 2016) -- Kyle Wolf hit a school-record nine three-point field goals en route to a career-high 31 points and the Mules made a new school-record 20 threes as a team as UCM rolled to a 90-55 win over SW Oklahoma State on Saturday at the Multi.

The made shot ignited a 28-3 run that put the Mules in front 28-8 with 10:05 to play in the first half. The Mules hit seven threes during the run, including five from Wolf.

The Bulldogs back-to-back buckets to keep the Mule lead at 18, but a three from Clarence Smith pushed the lead back to 21 and started a 12-0 run that gave the Mules a 43-13 lead with 5:02 left in the opening stanza. SWOSU scored nine of the final 12 points of the half and the Mules led 46-22 at the intermission.

The second half was much of the same on offense for the Mules. UCM made 10 three-pointers in the second half, just as they did in the first half. UCM was also 12-of-14 at the foul line in the second half as they outscored SWOSU 44-33 in the frame en route to the 35-point victory.

Eleven of the 13 Mules that played in the game scored, including three in double figures. In addition to Wolf's career-high 31, Spencer Reaves had 12 and Dushaun Rice had a season-high 10 to go along with six assists and two steals. Marquiez Lawrence finished with eight points and eight rebounds and Erick Locke dished out a game-high seven assists.

The Mules were 26-of-57 from the field for 46 percent, including the school-record 20 made threes on 36 attempts for 56 percent. UCM was 18-of-24 at the foul line. The Mules had 22 assists on their 26 made baskets and turned the ball over just six times while coming up with 11 steals and forcing 17 turnovers. They turned those 17 turnovers into a 24-6 advantage in points off turnovers.. They also out-rebounded SWOSU 37-26 and had 10 offensive boards.

SW Oklahoma State was led by Devin Pugh's 14 points, while shooting 44 percent from the field, 20-of-46. The Bulldogs were 9-of-27 from beyond the arc for 33 percent and made 6-of-10 at the free throw line.
