Coe College - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Coe is double-trouble for Mustangs

Amazing. Phenomenal. Dangerous.

The Coe Kohawks are not a boastful group of guys, but those are some of the superlatives they used to describe their performance against Mount Mercy in a men's basketball game Tuesday Night at Eby Fieldhouse.

The Kohawks saw three players finish with double-doubles as they posted an impressive 95-82 victory over the Mustangs in a battle of collegiate neighbors from northeast Cedar Rapids.

The Kohawks featured crisp ball movement, terrific shooting, strong rebounding and solid defense.

"Absolutely amazing," said Marshall Shedeck, who finished with 18 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocked shots. "This is probably the first game we've played where everything seemed to be clicking."

Matt Vonderhaar collected 27 points and 14 rebounds as the Kohawks lifted their record to 4-2. Point guard Jake Timm finished with 12 rebounds and 10 assists as he expertly directed the club.
