It didn't take long for Zack Frey to establish that senior night belonged to him.
Frey scored 15 points in the first half and 27 for the game as Freed-Hardeman dominated Lyon (Ark.) College, 97-56, on Thursday night in the Sports Center.
The 6-foot-8 senior was key in a 12-3 run that saw the Lions build an 11-point lead with 6:30 left in the first half, scoring eight of FHU's points during the three-minute stretch. After a Slater Belew putback brought Lyon back within nine points, Freed-Hardeman closed the half by outscoring the Scots 15-5 over the last six minutes.
Frey then scored the Lions' first six points of the second half as Freed-Hardeman continued to build its lead. A 17-4 run midway through the second half all but closed the door on the Scots, with the Lions opening up an 84-48 lead with 7:30 left in the game.
Frey's game-high scoring performance came on 13-of-17 shooting from the field, the 13 field goals tying his season high. Jesse Moulton and Anthony Sampson each had 12 points and senior Logan Greer added 10.
The win keeps FHU (19-10, 11-4) in a tie for second place in the TranSouth Conference with Mid-Continent (Ky.). Trevecca Nazarene (Tenn.) fell out of the tie with a loss to Union (Tenn.) tonight, putting the Trojans a game behind in fourth place.
The Lions need a win at Bethel (Tenn.) on Saturday and a Mid-Continent loss to Cumberland (Ky.) in order to take the No. 2 seed into next week's TranSouth Conference tournament.
