The Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College men’s basketball team delivered one of its most balanced offensive showings of the young season Thursday night, powering past visiting Saint Xavier (Ill.) for a 97–91 victory inside Knoerle Center.
The Pomeroys rode a trio of 20-point scorers and a near triple-double from junior standout Ellis Todd, who finished with 24 points, nine rebounds and nine assists while shooting 9 for 11 on free throws. His steady playmaking and grit on the glass paced an SMWC second-half surge where the team scored 56 points.
