Bulldogs Thump Santa Barbara En Route to Sixth Straight Win

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The Allan Hancock College men's basketball program rolled over Santa Barbara City College on Saturday evening in a 106-77 decision. The win marks the program's sixth consecutive victory, a streak that started with a win over Santa Barbara at home in January. | BOX SCORE

The Bulldogs (14-8, 6-1 WSC) put together a solid performance on both ends of the floor after leading for 38 straight minutes of gameplay.

As a team, Hancock finished with an efficient 56 percent showing from the floor while limiting the Vaqueros (7-17, 2-8 WSC) to just five made three-pointers on the night. The Bulldogs dominated in the paint after outrebounding SBCC at a 57-19 margin and notching 56 points in the paint.

Offensive production was balanced across the board as six AHC members finished in double figures. Noah Haaland led all scorers on the night with a season-high of 20 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Bryce Craver also registered a season-best mark of 15 points while adding nine rebounds and seven assists. Matt Solomon registered 14 points with a 4-for-7 showing from distance, while Vondre Chase and Aaron Moore tacked on 12 points apiece. Amari Stroud rounded out the top performers with an 11 point, 12 rebound showing.

The Bulldogs are scheduled to return to action on Monday, February 14th, with a road trip to Moorpark College. Tip-off is set for 5 PM in Moorpark Calif.
