Regents 118-82 on Tuesday in a Northern Athletics Conference game
at the Recreation Complex.
Ben Ziesemer (New Ulm, Minn./Minnesota Valley Lutheran) scored

apiece.

The Warriors used a 20-0 run toward the end of the first half to
take a 69-35 lead into halftime. WLC shot 64.1 percent (25-39) from
the floor in the half, including 50 percent from three-point
