FOREST CITY, Iowa — Doane Men's Basketball put together one of its most complete performances of the season on Saturday, cruising to a 95-67 GPAC road win over Waldorf at the Hanson Fieldhouse.

Doane (12-14, 6-12 GPAC) shot 56.5% from the floor (35-of-62), scored 50 points in the paint, and turned defense into offense with 15 steals while committing just nine turnovers. The Tigers also posted a season-high 95 points and led by as many as 30 late in the second half.

Doane carried a 45-33 advantage into halftime after shooting 60% in the opening 20 minutes and forcing 11 first-half turnovers. The lead only grew after the break as Doane poured in 50 second-half points, continuing to pressure the ball and convert easy looks at the rim.

Trevon Beckman led the way with 24 points on 8-of-12 shooting, adding six rebounds, three steals, and two assists. Casen Chaney filled the stat sheet with 15 points, seven steals, and six assists, while Justus Gardiner scored 14 points and Jack Wilson chipped in 12.
