Box Score Taking a break from action in the SLIAC with a non-conference tilt, the Webster University men's basketball team downed Dominican University, 76-69, on February 9, in River Forest, IL.  Sophomore Danny Zehner (Oakville HS, MO) helped power the Gorloks as the team picked up its first non-conference road win since November 24.

The Gorloks shot 50% (28-56) on the afternoon, a nice comeback for the team after a tough shooting night two days earlier against Spalding.  Webster also improved from beyond the arc, shooting 7-19 (37%).  The Gorloks beat the Stars handily on the boards, outrebounding them 34-23.

After taking a 36-29 halftime lead, Webster let Dominican creep within five points with 10 minutes remaining, 57-52.   That is as close as the Stars would get as the Gorloks maintained a double figure lead for most of the second half.  Webster had eight steals in the contest and outscored Dominican 28-13 off turnovers.

Zehner wound up with 19 points, as he shot 6-11(including 3-6 from the three-point line) from the field.  He had eight rebounds and three assists also.  Jarrod Huskey (JR, Hillsboro HS, MO) had a team-high nine rebounds and chipped in with eight points.  Ahmad Smith (SO, Clayton HS, MO) also reached double figures with 12 points as well as Roman Robinson (SR, Angelo Rodriguez HS, CA) who finished with 10 and four steals before fouling out of the contest with three minutes remaining.

Webster evened its season record at 11-11 with the win.  The Gorloks resume action in the SLIAC for the stretch run as they make the trek down Big Bend to take on Fontbonne University on February 13.  The team then heads to Carlinville, IL, on February 16 to face Blackburn College.
