The Misericordia men's basketball team cruised to victory at Wilkes, 103-76, at Henry Gymnasium Wednesday evening.

Tre Fields had 25 points, six rebounds and five assists. Tony Harding had 24 points and eight rebounds while Jason Kenny had 24 points and six assists. Griffin Sponaugle had eight points and five assists.

James Hawk passed out of a double team to Fields in the left corner to open the scoring. Next time down, Sponaugle found Hawk for an easy bucket to make it 5-0 MU early.

Wilkes split a pair of free throws; Fields split a pair and then found Harding alone under the hoop to make the score 8-2. Wilkes converted inside, and Kenny found Fields for three in the right corner to make the score 11-4.

The teams traded buckets over the next several possessions to make it 13-8 and then Kenny played a part in Misericordia's next five scoring possessions. He found Harding underneath, blew past his defender for a layup and then drained a three from way behind the line. He made two foul shots and then set up Noah Rivera to make it 24-13 MU with 13:35 left in the half.

The teams went back and forth as the Cougars tried to pull away.

Harding hit a deep three off a pass from Michael Brunson and then made a layup to make the score 42-23. The teams traded five point spurts over the next eight minutes as the MU lead fluctuated between 13 and 19. Fields made two foul shots before the Colonels scored in the paint to make the score 56-40 at the half.

The second half was more of the same, with both teams scoring rapidly. MU led 76-58 with 13:43 remaining, and a 9-0 run put the game completely out of reach. Harding and Fields sunk two foul shots, Sponaugle found Fields for a three and Kenny made a layup to make it 85-59.

The Cougars led by at least 24 the rest of the game.

Misericordia improves to 12-5, 4-3 in the MAC Freedom.  They will host FDU-Florham, Saturday at 3:00.
