FROSTBURG, Md. – Senior forward Maurice Williams scored 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as the Frosburg State men's basketball team earned an impressive 85-72 home victory over St. Mary's (Md.) on Saturday afternoon at Bobcat Arena. Fellow senior Bradley Nunn added 21 points.

Each player scored in double figures in the first half as the Bobcats broke open a tight contest with a 20-7 run over the final 5:35 of the opening period. On that run, Williams scored nine of his 15 first-half points while Nunn had seven of his 11. Williams was 5-of-9 from the floor in the half and 4-of-5 from the free throw line. His last field goal was a three-pointer at 1:01 to put the Bobcats ahead by six. Williams is second among Bobcat players in three-point percentage among players with at least 10 attempts, shooting 39.4 percent.

The pair also combined to make five free throws on that run. On this day, that was a common Frostburg theme. The Bobcats made 27 of their 35 attempts for a 77.1 percent mark. Both numbers, the makes and the percentage, are season highs.

As the dust settled into intermission, Frostburg had turned a 31-27 deficit into a 47-38 advantage.

The Bobcat lead increased to double digits and stayed there for nearly 19 minutes of the second half. Frostburg outscored St. Mary's, 11-4, in the first five minutes of the second half to expand the lead to 58-42. Williams (six points) and Nunn (three) combined for nine of the Bobcats' 11 points on that spurt. Besides scoring the 21 points, Nunn filled the sheet with four assists, three rebounds, three steals and two blocks. He also went 10-of-13 from the charity stripe.

The lead reached as high as 18 after Williams hit a jumper at 5:27 to push the margin to 76-58. Senior Troy Dockett scored 15 points, junior Kwambina Coker had 10 points and six boards while freshman Jabari Kamau had eight rebounds and two blocks.

This came against a St. Mary's team that had not lost back-to-back games since the 2008-09 season and had not lost two consecutive Capital Athletic Conference games since the 2007-08 campaign. The Seahawks, a 2011 NCAA Sectional Finalist as one of the final eight teams remaining in the national tournament, lost to conference-leading Mary Washington on Wednesday.

The Bobcats (8-9, 5-3) have a week off and then host those same Mary Washington Eagles at Bobcat Arena next Saturday at 3:00 p.m.
