Martin, Tenn. - The IPFW Mastodons put four players in double-figure scoring, led by Frank Gaines' 22, as the 'Dons never trailed in an 82-76 win over the UT Martin 82-76 on Sunday afternoon.
The Mastodons, who are riding a season-long five-game win streak, improve its record to 7-3 on the year, while UT Martin falls to 3-10 on the campaign.
Gaines' 22 was followed by Trey McCorkle's 17, Isaiah McCray's career-high 11, and Jonny Marlin's 10. McCorkle pulled down a game-high nine rebounds, while McCray and John Peckinpaugh had five and four assists, apiece.
Jonny Marlin led the team with three steals, while Mario Hines had the team's only blocked shot.
IPFW jumped out to a quick 6-0 lead through the first minute and a half of the game, and never trailed again in the contest.
The first-half lead increased to as many as 20 at 39-19 with 3:16 to play in the contest, before the Skyhawks fought back with a first-half-ending 9-2 run to close the gap to 13 at 41-28 at intermission.
UT Martin scored the first six points of the second half to close the gap to seven, and eventually climbed to within five at 59-54 before the 'Dons ran off an 11-1 run to push the advantage to 15 at 70-55, holding on late for the six-point victory.
IPFW made 28-of-52 shots from the field (53.8 percent), 6-of-10 (60 percent) from long range, and 20-of-29 (69 percent) from the charity stripe. The 'Dons also out-rebounded the Skyhawks 38-to-27 in the game.
The Mastodons return to action on Tuesday, December 20 when the squad remains on its four-game road swing with a trip to West Lafayette, Ind., to take on the Boilermakers of Purdue in a 6:30 p.m. tip-off at Mackey Arena.
