Miles continued its midseason surge with a 95-46 win over Carver College Saturday afternoon at Knox-Windham Gymnasium. Everyone who played scored for the Golden Bears (15-3), who never trailed en route to their ninth straight victory.
Carver stayed close early and trailed just 17-16 midway through the first half. But a seven-minute stretch late in the first half put the Golden Bears in control. The Cougars made just one field goal during the stretch where Miles outscored them 15-3 to take 37-21 lead. The Golden Bears shot 52 percent from the field in the first half and went into the half with a 14-point advantage.
Mykayle Carter (game-high 21 points on 7-of-11 3-pointers), hampered with foul trouble in the first half, came out firing in the second half. He drained three 3-pointers in the first four minutes to push the Miles advantage to 48-29. The Golden Bears were making threes from everywhere, making 10 of them in the second half and 15 for the game, which tied the school record.
Kendrick Foster (five points) and
Truitt Spencer (eight points) bracketed 3-pointers around an alley-oop feed from
Yasim Hooker to
Joel Logan (five points) for a vicious dunk. Hooker (20 points, seven rebounds, five assists) then added another 3-ball that closed a 16-point run which pushed lead to 66-33.
