ALBION, Mich. - A second-half push for the Albion Britons helps secure its fourth Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association win in a row over Kalamazoo 109-94.  The Britons were led by Jamezell Davis Jr. and MJ Barnes. Davis and Barnes shot a combined 16-25 from three-point range and totaled 57 points between the two of them.   

"We figured out early on that offense wasn't going to be a problem.   44 points is a lot for us in a half." Head Coach Jody May said. "In the second half, we did a much better job defending and not giving up easy opportunities for them."

After trailing by one at halftime, Albion came out strong with a 28-6 run over the first nine minutes of the second half.  Five Britons scored in double figures tonight which made it tough for the Kalamazoo defense.   

"When we are hitting threes like that and we have our two big guys inside with Caden Ebeling and Quinton Armstrong, we are pretty hard to defend." 

Caden Ebeling recorded his fourth double-double of the season including this one coming in back to back games. The Britons assisted 26 of 39 field goals and generated 17 points off of 13 turnovers.    

Briton Notes

• Jamezell Davis Jr. led the Britons with 31 points while also recording a career-tying 8 assists.    

• MJ Barnes went 8-9 from three-point range and added two from the free-throw line for 26 points

• Cortez Garland (14), Caden Ebeling (14), and Quinton Armstrong (13) all added double figures performances.

Joe and Julie Serra have given a $5 million leadership gift to launch a fundraising initiative to make two dreams a reality at Albion College. The first is a newly expanded fitness and student activity facility at the site of the current Dow Recreation and Wellness Center. The second is a new or renovated competition facility for the volleyball, men's basketball and women's basketball teams that currently call Kresge Gymnasium home.

The College is continuing to raise funds in support of both projects. To learn more, call 517/629-0446 or email advancement@albion.edu
