Box Score TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Senior Ty Houston (Union, Ky.) etched his name into the history books as he surpassed 1,000 career points on Wednesday evening to lead Hanover (11-7 overall, 7-4 HCAC) to the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference victory at Rose-Hulman, 84-78.
 
With the win, head coach Jon Miller collected his 250^th victory at the helm of the Panthers.
 
Sophomore Coleman Sater (Ellettsville, Ind.) led the second half comeback as he netted a career high 25 points. Houston added 28 points and junior Max Greenamoyer (Zionsville, Ind.) netted 13 points.
 
Hanover opened the contest with patience on the offensive side of the floor as Sater led the charge in the paint. After hitting an easy layup, teammate Ty Houston netted a three-pointer to pull HC within 11-10 at the 15 minute mark.
 
However, Rose-Hulman caught fire from long-range pushing their lead to as many as 21-12 midway through the half. Houston halted the surge hitting a turnaround jumper in the lane, eclipsing 1,000 career points, to help spark the Panther attack. They slowly chipped at the double-digit difference using a 15-0 run to enter the intermission trailing just 48-42.
 
The second half saw the hot hand of Houston continue as he netted a three-pointer from the corner when junior Brice Gilman (Clinton, Ind.) dropped a two point conversion to cut the deficit to just 52-51. But Rose-Hulman refused to surrender the lead hitting a three-pointer to extend the difference.
 
Sater proved to be the deciding factor late using the old fashion three-point play to help propel Hanover to their first lead of the second half at the 7:41 mark, 66-65. The Panther offense handled the rest with Sater connecting for a career-high en route to the win.
 
Hanover returns to action on Saturday, Jan. 28 when they travel to Defiance. Game time is set for 2:00 PM.
