SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont -- No. 2 Humber Hawks men's basketball (15-0, 1st west) exploded for their biggest offensive showing of the year, defeating the Sault Cougars (0-14, 11th West), 130-55.

Humber could do no wrong in Saturday's dominating victory. The Hawks opened the game on a scoring tear, finishing the first quarter with 36 points. They wasted no time putting the game away, as they jumped out to a 20-point lead early on.

A total of seven players finished in double figures. Jaylan Morgan finished with a game-high 18 points, but the dominance came from almost everywhere on the floor. DeQuon Cascart and Micqueel Martin made their return to the court and gave the Hawks the perfect spark off the bench. Trevon Mollison also had the hot hand all night, finishing with a season-high 16 points. The Hawks bench erupted for a season-high 76 points, scoring more than the entire Cougars team, combined.

Humber's offensive system has allowed everyone to strive. Despite not having one player featured in the top-15 for scoring, the team has five players averaging double-digits in scoring this season. The Hawks finished the game shooting 51 per cent (49-for-96) from the field.

The Hawks also finished with a season-low five turnovers in today's victory. Their fast-paced style and ball movement have made them unstoppable to beat.
