STEVENS POINT, Wis. – Asanjai Hunter (Sr.-Racine, Wis.) went over 1,000 points for his Lakeland University men's basketball career, reaching the milestone in the Muskies' 87-70 loss to the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Monday afternoon in a non-conference game.

Hunter became the 43rd player in program history to score 1,000 points and the first to join the 1,000-point club since Cam Jaeger did so in 2023. He entered the game with 991 points and hit 1,000 with a three-pointer with 4:41 left in the first half for his ninth, 10th and 11th points of the game.

Hunter scored 13 of his 15 points in the first half and led a considerable comeback after the Muskies (2-9 overall) came back from a 17-point deficit early to take the lead. UW-Stevens Point (10-1 overall) bolted to an 11-1 lead to start the game and led 22-5 just over seven minutes into the game, but Lakeland responded with a 19-2 run of its own to draw within a point at 25-24 after a steal and layup by Delon Zollicoffer-White (Sr.-Milwaukee, Wis.) with 8:49 left in the half.

The Muskies came all the way back to take the lead when Hunter scored on a layup to make it 31-30 with 6:34 left in the first half. The Pointers scored the next seven points in regaining the lead, and UWSP took a 45-39 lead into halftime after scoring six of the final eight points in the half.

UW-Stevens Point broke the game open early in the second half, outscoring Lakeland 17-3 over the first 4:43 with a free throw by Carter Combs putting UWSP up 62-42 with 15:17 left in the game. The Muskies would get no closer than 13 the rest of the way, and the Pointers led by as many as 24 points late.

Jaxson Dillon (Sr.-Menasha, Wis.) led Lakeland with 18 points including four three-pointers. Parker Braun (Jr.-Brillion, Wis.) also added eight points plus a game-high four steals.

The Muskies shot 46.2% for the game, making 24 of 52 field goals including 10 of 24 from three-point range (41.7%) with six triples coming in the first half.

Seth Miron led UWSP with 21 points and Cal Krohn added 13 points and seven rebounds. The Pointers shot 60.3%, making 35 of 58 shots from the field, including 56 points scored in the paint.

The Muskies have concluded non-conference play and now dive into the heart of the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference schedule beginning with a trip to face Dominican University on Saturday at 1 p.m. in River Forest, Ill.
