Warren, MI – Jakylen Thomas came off the bench to score a game-high, a career-high and maybe an Ancilla-high 41 points to help push the Ancilla College (10-0) past Macomb 102-82, in a non–conference match-up Tuesday night.
Thomas connected on 8 of 9 three-point shots and hit 13-16 free throws in his record breaking night. Marco Beverly continues to be a consistent scorer adding 17 points and center Caleb Brown pushed through 14 points and grabbed nine rebound.
Ancilla gets a four-game home stand over the next two weeks as they begin to wind down the regular season. Schoolcraft College comes to town Friday with a 7:30 p.m. tip-off slated. The game will be streamed on the Ancilla College YouTube channel.
