TUOLUMNE — Gyse Hulsebosch accounted for 14 of East Union’s 26 points in the fourth quarter, as the Lancers overcame a sluggish start to escape Summerville with a 64-56 nonleague victory Tuesday night.
East Union (4-1) trailed 19-6 after the first quarter, but an improved effort on defense and rebounding helped jump start the offense. Hulsebosch finished with 18 points and buried all three of his 3-pointers in the fourth. The Lancers as a team made 12 from long range.
“We got off to a really slow start, which is common going up the hill,” East Union coach Ryan Tarr said. “Even though we were down nine at halftime (30-21) I still felt good about it because we were able to start making some stops. We got better offensively as the game went along, but it was because of what we did defensively.”
East Union outscored the Bears 16-9 in the third quarter before blowing past them in the end. While Hulsebosch closed with the hot hand, Malik Thomas kept the Lancers in range early. He finished with 17 points and five 3-pointers. Austin Miller contributed three treys and 13 points.
