The Marauders called a timeout to halt the momentum, but Luke Winkel immediately drained a three-pointer following a defensive stop by the Huskies. St. Cloud State would comfortably lead by 13+ points the rest of the way as they stepped up defensively in the second half. UMary scored 20 points on 7/27 shooting in the second half as SCSU picked up their second straight win with a 66-50 victory over the Marauders.
