Eddie Marrs scored 22 points to lead a group of five Mustangs in double figures when 25th-ranked Morningside defeated Dakota State University 88-68 on Saturday at Dakota State’s Ed Harter Classic in Madison, S.D.
Marrs, one of the nation’s leading scorers last year at Minnesota West Community College, had his first big scoring effort with the Mustangs. He did much of his scoring from the free-throw line, where he made eight of 11 attempts. Aside from his 22 points, Marrs also led the Mustangs with seven rebounds, had a game-high five steals, and dealt four assists to share Mustang honors with Seth Atkins and Bryan Fink.
Fink came off the bench to score a career-high 16 points to top his previous high of 12 tallies in last Saturday’s win against Johnson & Wales University. Fink drilled four of seven shots from beyond the 3-point arc against the Trojans.
Nick Thompson added 13 points to the Mustangs’ scoring total. Atkins and Mitch Carstens also scored in double figures with 12 and 11 points, respectively.
Dakota State outrebounded Morningside 46-38, but shot just 36.2 percent from the field.
Morningside will play at NCAA Division II Wayne State College on Wednesday, Nov. 19.
