Hogans leads Spring Arbor past Huntington in OT thriller

SPRING ARBOR, Mich. – The Spring Arbor University men’s basketball team wrapped up its 2015-16 home slate with a thrilling 88-84 overtime win over Huntington University on Tuesday night behind a 31-point performance from junior Caleb Hogans.   Spring Arbor trailed by two late in the second half, but Hogans hit a contested, driving lay-up with six seconds remaining to force overtime. In the extra period, the Cougars, again, found themselves down with less than a minute on the clock when Hogans knocked down a jumper to put SAU in front for good.   It was the second straight 30-point effort for Hogans after dropping a career-high 32 in the win over Marian University on Saturday. The Farmington Hills, Michigan native finished 10-for-22 from the field and was a perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line while also adding seven rebounds and three steals.   Freshman Anthony Qasawa registered his first career double-double with 20 points and a season-best 11 rebounds. Sophomore Zach Medendorp netted 11 points and seven boards to go along with five blocks.   After a back and forth start to the contest, Huntington (13-16, 7-10 CL) pulled ahead midway through the opening half and would maintain…

Community invited to third annual Mr. SAU pageant

SPRING ARBOR, Mich. – The Spring Arbor University athletic department will be hosting the third annual Mr. Spring Arbor pageant on Sunday, Feb. 21.   Mr. Spring Arbor is a male pageant with contestants representing each of the SAU men's athletic teams. They will be competing in three different categories – talent, dress, Q&A – and will be judged by a panel of guest judges consisting of University faculty and staff.   The event is held each year to benefit various organizations. In 2015, Mr. Spring Arbor raised more than $2,000 for Northern Lights Ministries, an organization in Uganda founded by SAU graduate Kate Walugembe. One hundred percent of the proceeds went towards purchasing mattresses for children without one, as well as paying school fees for children without sponsors.   This year all proceeds and donations will go towards Rise Above, a non-profit ministry in Jackson, Michigan founded by SAU graduate Neil Fernandes (’14).   “This year we are choosing to partner with Rise Above,” said Shannon Balcer (Hudsonville, MI/Unity Christian), a senior on the women’s soccer team, and event planner. “We wanted to go local and support a place that is impacting the community around us.”   Rise Above…

Hogans scores career-high 32 to lead Spring Arbor Men’s Basketball past Marian

SPRING ARBOR, Mich. – Junior Caleb Hogans was a one-man wrecking crew, dropping a career-high 32 points to lead the Spring Arbor University men’s basketball team to an 89-85 win over Marian University on Saturday.   Hogans scored 20 of his points in the second half, including eight during the final three minutes. He went a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line down the stretch to help the Cougars hold off a late charge by the visiting Knights.   Hogans helped Spring Arbor get off to a fast start capping a 7-0 run to open the game with a lay-in. The Cougars continued to lead throughout most of the first half until an 8-1 scoring spurt by Marian gave the Knights a 35-32 advantage with 4:25 left in the opening period.   Sophomore Drew Zuidema would answer for SAU, though, knocking down a deep three-pointer to even the score, and the Cougars would tally 10 of the next  14 points to take a 45-39 lead into the locker room.   Spring Arbor led by as many eight in the second stanza, but Marian battled its way back and carved the deficit to one with five minutes remaining. The Knights…
