UW-Stevens Point Repeats, Rolls Over Rochester , 73-49
Pointers First Team to Repeat Since 1999

 

Salem, Va. – The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (29-3) outscored the University of Rochester (25-5) 45-24 in the second half to earn the Pointers their second consecutive NCAA Division III men’s basketball championship at the Salem Civic Center. The final score of the championship game was 73-49.

“I don’t know if we could have played any better than we did in the second half,” said UWSP Head Coach Jack Bennett. “When we are clicking on all cylinders we are a handful to defend. I still am shocked we are back-to-back champs, these guys simply play their best when the pressure is the greatest.”

The opening half went back and forth as the lead changed hands twice, and was tied on seven occasions. Stevens Point used an 8-2 run to take a 13-7 lead with 11:37 remaining in the first half, but Rochester countered with an 8-0 run to take a 15-13 lead at the 9:02 mark – the last time they would lead the game. Kyle Grusczynski’s breakaway dunk thirty seconds later tied the game at 15-15.

Jason Kaslow , the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player, hit a three-pointer to give the Pointers a short lived lead, as Rochester’s Brendan McAllister matched it with a three-pointer of his own to tie the game at 20-20. Tim Brackney’s three-point attempt rimmed out at the buzzer and kept the Yellowjackets at bay, down just three points, 28-25, heading into halftime.

Kaslow opened up the half with a three-pointer to extend the lead to six. Nick Bennett followed suit hitting a three with 17:11 remaining to give UWSP its first double-digit lead of the game, 40-30. The Pointers would then go into a zone defense, and after Gabe Perez hit a 19-foot jumper with 14:29, Rochester would not score another field goal for the next five minutes. By that time, the lead had increased to 18 points, 57-39. That was the closest the Yellowjackets would get the rest of the way.

Stevens Point , which shot 56 percent on 27-of-48 shooting on the game, was led by Jason Krull who scored 22 points on 8-of-12 shooting. Nick Bennett added 18 points on 6-of-9 shooting from the floor, and 4-of-6 from the three-point line, while Kaslow was the only other Pointer in double figures with 15 points. Krull and Kaslow pulled down seven and six rebounds, respectively, and freshman point guard Steve Hicklin had a game-high five assists.

“It’s a nice honor, and I could not have done it without the team.” said Kalsow. “I don’t think there is a MOP on a losing team and we don’t win if these guys don’t step up. I will graciously accept the award but recognize that the team accomplishments are the most important.”

Jon Onyiriuka led Rochester in scoring with 14 points and grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds. Rochester managed to shoot just 32.6 percent (15-of-46) for the game, and committed twice as many turnovers (10) as the Pointers.

The Pointers won four out of five NCAA tournament games by 18 or more points, including the 24-point margin in the title game.

Salem
 , 
 Va.
 
 – The Knights of Calvin College defeated the Spartans of York College
 (Pa.), 98-84, in the consolation game of the 2005 NCAA Division 
 III
 men’s basketball championship.
 




Calvin (27-7) opened up
the game with a 7-0 run and kept 
 
 York
 
 scoreless until Brian Singer’s layup with 
 17:34
 remaining in the half. The Spartans (28-4) then cut the lead to one, 14-13, on
a pair of free throws by 
 
 Chad
 
 McGowan. Calvin increased their lead to 10 on a fast break layup by Ricky
Shilts to make the score 37-27 with 
 4:12
 left in the first half. York would then pull to within three when Kenny Fass
hit a three-pointer with four seconds remaining to make the half-time score
41-38.
 




  



York pulled to within
one, 43-42, with 
 18:15
 remaining, but Shilts answered with a three-pointer and a fast break layup on
the next two possessions to increase the lead to six. 
 
 York
 
 would cut the lead to four on several occasions, but that’s as close as they
would get the rest of the contest. Calvin made 13-of-32 three-point baskets and
committed six less turnovers than 
 
 York
 
 , which proved to be the difference in the game.
 




  



Ricky Shilts led all
scorers with 24 points on 8-of-13 shooting, including 4-of-9 on three-pointers.
Also reaching doubles for the Knights were Joel Joekstra (14), Dan Aultman (13)
and Andy Draayer (13). Josh Meckes had a game-high nine rebounds, and Josh
Vriesman had a game-high five assists.
