Kellyn Hunter led the game in scoring with 19 points while shooting 7-of-14 from the floor and a perfect (3-3) free throw percentage.

The Badgers cut the Marauder lead to just three points early in the first quarter. Central State held just a nine point lead over Spring Hill (19-10) through the opening period.

The second quarter was where SHC’s defense shined and held CSU to its lowest shooting percentage from the floor (7-20). Despite the efforts, Spring Hill continued to trail 36-23 at halftime.

Central State maintained its lead and defeated Spring Hill 79-54 in its regular season finale. The Badgers finished the regular season with six wins, the most since the 2019-20 season.

They Said It
Head Coach Dan Presel
“Central State played great today. We got out played for 40 minutes tonight. Their size really gave us trouble the entire night. We’ve been playing some really good ball lately. Definitely disappointing to not play our best as we head into the conference tournament. I’m excited about getting to Savannah and seeing how long we can stay.”
