DEARBORN, Mich. - A return after nearly a month turned into a one-sided victory for the University of Michigan-Dearborn men's basketball team against Concordia University in a Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference contest Wednesday at the UM-Dearborn Fieldhouse.
The Wolverines scorched the nets in the first half and continued to apply pressure after the break en route to a 99-68 win over the Cardinals, who topped UM-Dearborn last week in Ann Arbor. The win moves the Wolverines, who are undefeated at the Fieldhouse this season, to 11-6 overall and 5-4 in the WHAC.

The Wolverines scored 19 points in the first five minutes after the break as the team heated up from behind the 3-point line. UM-Dearborn finsihed just under 60 percent from the field for the game and hit nine 3-pointers.
Five Wolverines scored in double figures, led by Crofford with 21, including three 3-pointers, while adding five rebounds. Jason Penn (JR/Detroit, MI) was unstoppable in the post, hitting 8-of-11 field goals and finishing with 20 points to go along with six rebounds and four assists.
