Herring II Rains Threes in 85-80 Win Over Moravian

BETHLEHEM, P.A. (Feb. 11 2015) – After being kick started by a dominant first half from junior guard Kevin Herring II, the Drew University men's basketball team defeated Moravian College on the road by a score of 85-80 on Saturday evening.
 
Herring dropped 31 points (9-of-12 three-pointers) on the night, his highest output  as a Ranger. Junior forward Jason Huelbig notched his fourth career double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Huelbig has logged three double-doubles this year. Junior guard Mike Klinger pitched in 15 in the victory.
 
With nine three-pointers, Herring has etched his name in Rangers history and enters the record book second all time in three-pointers made in a game.
 
The Rangers (11-12, 6-8) opened in Bethlehem set to live and die by the three-pointer and for the first 10 minutes of the contest, Herring lived large. He was a robot from downtown, draining his first five baskets, all of them treys. Fifteen points later and Drew was hoisted to a 24-13 lead over Moravian (4-18, 2-11) with 10 minutes to go in the half.
 
Herring wouldn't stop. He continued to drain deep-range buckets. He coasted into the half with 26 points and at one point, had hit eight consecutive threes in as many attempts.
 
Moravian wouldn't go away, though. Despite Herring's output the Greyhounds outshot the Rangers from deep. They put up a 60-percent figure to Drew's 56-percent. In addition to outside success, Moravian also contributed deep-range two-pointers to keep the score close.
 
The Rangers entered halftime holding a slim 43-42 lead.
 
Drew opened the half on a 15-2 run that turned a temporary Moravian lead into a decisive one for the Rangers. Huelbig and Klinger traded baskets for the opening 10 minutes of the half.
 
An 8-0 Moravian run trimmed down the Rangers' lead and the contest would eventually tie at 71-71 with six minutes to go. The teams would exchange 1-point leads until a kick out to Herring, who had been guarded tightly in the half, resulted in yet another three-pointer. The trey gave Drew an 81-78 lead that would hold up until the final buzzer. The Greyhounds resorted to the intentional foul, and Klinger and Huelbig combined on 4-of-4 from the charity stripe to ice the contest.
 
The Rangers return home to close out the season with two games. The first will take place against Susquehanna University on Saturday, Feb. 14 at 4:00 p.m. in Baldwin Gymnasium, where Drew will celebrate four Rangers on Senior Day.
