THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – The No. 12 UW-Stevens Point men's basketball team (7-2) jumped out to a 12-0 lead and rolled to a 76-57 win over host Call Lutheran (2-6) at the Cal Lutheran Holiday Classic on Friday.

Bublitz and O'Heron combined to give UWSP a 6-0 lead to begin the game.  Fredrickson and Dodge hit back-to-back threes to push the lead to 12-0.  O'Heron sandwiched consecutive Dodge triples with buckets as the lead ballooned to 24-5 less than eight minutes in.
