SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Senior Harold Arceneaux, the Big Sky’s top

scorer, poured in 25 points to lead Weber State past Sacramento State,

88-72, Saturday night at Memorial Auditrium.

The win lifted the Wildcats to 15-8 overall and 7-5 in Big Sky games.

The Hornets dropped to 9-12 and 3-7 in conference action.

Arceneaux converted on 11-of-14 shots from the floor including a

three-pointer for his 25 points. The forward, however, did not need all

players as senior Anthony Flood paced Sacramento State with a game-high

26 points.

The Hornets led 2-0 and 4-2 before Weber State broke a 4-4 tie to take

the lead for good. The Wildcats shot an amazing .581 (18-for-31) in the

first half and were 6-of-9 from three-point land in the period. For the

game, WSU was 32-of-56 (.571) from the floor and 9-of-17 (.529) from

three.

Weber built a 45-36 lead at halftime but had it cut to six, 45-39, when

Flood hit a layup and a free throw to start the second half. From that

point, the Wildcats quickly built the lead back to 10 points and cruised

the rest of the way.

Ivan Gatto and Damon King each scored 12 points for WSU. Senior guard

Eddie Gill also added 13 assists in the win.

Flood was joined in double-figures by junior Rame Batta. The guard was

8-for-13 and ended the night with 17 points.

Sacramento State will take to the road this week to play at Portland

State on Thursday and at Eastern Washington. Both games will be aired on

KTKZ 1380 AM.
