SHREVEPORT, La. - Men's Basketball traveled to Louisiana to take on the Centenary Gents, the Vikings had five players in double figures and 19 assists in an impressive 81-70 road victory.

It was a career day for Sophomore guard Isaac Martin, who lit up the scoring column with 21 points, 4 assists, and 2 rebounds. Martin also knocked down 6 three-pointers to power his effort. Parker Godwin also earned the first double-double of his career with 12 points and 11 rebounds.

Issac Martin started the show for the Vikings with a transition three-pointer that gave the Vikings an early lead, 3-0. A string of missed threes from the Vikings midway through the first half caused them to fall behind, 15-20. The Vikings slowly crept back into the game behind a 5-point run by Parker Godwin, who knocked down a three-point shot and banked in a layup to give the Vikings a 24-20 lead. The Gents would then go on a 14-3 run to take a 34-27 lead with three minutes to play in the first half. Jacob Morgan and Canon Armstead earned trips to the free-throw line that bought the Vikings back within striking distance. Then, just as the half was about to expire, Braxton Benham pump-faked a contesting defender and knocked down a beautiful side-step 3-pointer just before the buzzer sounded to cut the Centenary lead to just 5, 38-33.  

In the second half, it was Jacob Morgan who hit a big three-pointer from the corner to cut even deeper into the Centenary lead. On the Vikings' next possession, Drew Winegarden sliced through the lane, drew the contact, finished a tough layup, and completed the and-one. Another Vikings' stop then led to another Jacob Morgan three-pointer from the corner, as the Vikings began to pick apart the Centenary zone defense. Unselfish play by the Vikings continued to be the story when Parker Godwin zipped a pass over to the red-hot Issac Martin for another three-pointer, pushing the Viking lead to ten, 53-43.  

Later in the half, the Centenary Gents clawed their way back into it, cutting the Viking lead to just 6 with 6 minutes left to play. Jacob Morgan was having none of that though, as he would then score 5 out of the next 8 points for Berry, pushing the lead out to 12, 72-60, with just 4 minutes left. 

Smart ball-handling by the Viking backcourt kept the Gents at bay in the final minutes, as the Vikings' dominant performance from beyond the arc carried them to victory. Berry shot 41% (16-39) from three-point range compared to Centenary's 31% (9-29).  The Vikings also outrebounded the Gents, 35-31.

Berry's double-figure scorers included Issac Martin (21), Jacob Morgan (16), Drew Winegarden (13), Parker Godwin (12), and Braxton Benham (11).  

The Vikings head to Tennessee on November 19 to take on Maryville College at 7PM ET.
