Johnston Leads Hatters Past Jacksonville

DeLAND—Stetson's Chase Johnston scored a season-high 24 points to lead the Hatters past Jacksonville, 91-75, in ASUN Conference action, Friday at Edmunds Center.
 
Johnston was one of four Hatters to reach double figures. He was 9 of 14 from the field, including 5 of 8 from 3-point range.
 
The Hatters (9-11 overall, 6-7 ASUN) led from start to finish, building a lead of as much as 29 points (65-36) in the second half.
 
Stetson dominated play in the first half, shooting 62 percent from the field on the way to a 50-35 advantage at halftime. Johnston had 16 points at the break as Stetson made 10 of its 14 3-point shots.
 
The lead continued to grow in the second half. A three-point play by Josh Smith gave the Hatters a 65-36 lead with 12:59 to play, and the Hatters were never seriously challenged after that. Jacksonville never got any closer than 13 points.
 
Rob Perry scored 18 points for Stetson, while Christiaan Jones added 15. Mahamadou Diawara scored 13 points and grabbed 6 rebounds.
 
Kevion Nolan led Jacksonville with 17 points.
