FORT WAYNE (Indiana's NewsCenter) – Deilvez Yearby had 20 points and grabbed six rebounds in pacing IPFW Mastodons to a 86-57 win over Madonna University Tuesday night.

Jeremy Mixon added 14 points while Ben Botts had ten and Nick Daniels and Frank Gaines nine apiece.

“Our energy was great in the first half,” said head coach Dane Fife. “We jumped on them early, and had them on their heels the rest of the first half. The second half got pretty ugly for us, but a win is a win for us.”

The Mastodons are on the road for their next three games, including games in back-to-back games on the West Coast when they travel to play at Washington State on Thursday and at Gonzaga on Friday.
