St. Louis - The Maryville men's basketball team was looking to extend its winning streak to five games with a game against Indianapolis but the Greyhounds held off a big rally for a 69-59 win to snap the Saints run.
 
Down 40-26 at intermission, the Saints opened the second half on an 11-0 run to roar back into the game. Karson King started the run with a 3-pointer, and Evan Booker powered inside for a layup and three-point play. Booker then knocked down a wing 3-pointer, and a Forrester Sims jumper drew the Saints to 40-37. The Maryville defense kept UIndy off the scoreboard for more than five minutes to get back into the game.
 
The Greyhounds held a 50-43 lead before a Jimmy Barton triple and two free throws by Grant Sims pulled the Saints to 50-48 at the 9:24 mark. However the Saints only managed one field goal over a seven-minute span as the Greyhounds held on to the lead. Booker hit one free throw as the Saints closed to 58-51 with 5:26 but that proved to be the closest Maryville could trim the deficit.
 
Alex Etherington paced UIndy (5-7, 2-2 GLVC) with 17 points, while Jesse Kempson added 14 points and 13 rebounds. Forrester Sims hit 8-of-14 shots and led the Saints (7-10 overall, 1-4 GLVC) with 19 points. Booker added 13 points and nine boards, while Anthony Johnson pulled down 10 rebounds.
 
Maryville takes to the road for its next contest, Thursday, Jan. 12, at Wisconsin-Parkside.
