ALBION, Mich. – Four Thunder scored in double figures as the Trine University men's basketball team picked up a sixth win in seven games on Wednesday night. Danny Flood led Trine (10-4, 2-1 MIAA) with 17 points as the Thunder held off a late rally from Albion (8-6, 1-2 MIAA) for a 73-69 victory.
 
Logan McKenzie added 15 points and Jayden Bradshaw and Cade Brenner pitched in 12 and 13, respectively. Flood connected on five of ten three pointers.
 
Flood turned a 5-4 deficit into a 10-7 lead with a pair of threes on consecutive possessions. That sparked a 22-8 run that he capped off with another long ball. Bradshaw added a triple and Brenner added four. Trine stretched the lead to 15 with another run. Bradshaw was fouled on a three point attempt and earned all three at the line, he found Paxton Crane on the next possession for a score inside. Flood again rang true from beyond the arc to complete the run. The Thunder took a 36-31 lead into the break.
 
Albion had the advantage out of halftime, using a 15-3 run to claim a seven point lead. Flood responded with his fifth triple of the night.
