Michael Williams led a balanced scoring attack with 18 points to help St. Ambrose to a 79-73 win at Trinity Christian Wednesday night.

Dylan Kaczmarek (15), John Kerr (12) and Jake Meeske (11) also scored in double figures to help the Bees move to 13-8 overall and 9-4 in the conference.

SAU was able to overcome a 40-percent shooting effort from the floor and an eight-point deficit midway through the second half. The Bees still trailed 62-57 with six minutes left before going on what proved to be a game-deciding 10-0 run.

Williams scored four straight points to start the spurt before Kaczmarek knocked down a 3-pointer to give St. Ambrose a 64-62 lead. Meeske hit two free throws and Kyle Rohr split two from the line to up the lead to 67-62 with 3:45 to play.

Trinity Christian (5-14, 1-11 CCAC) pulled to within two at 69-67 before Williams made two free throws to restore a four-point lead with two minutes remaining. Seconds later, following a Troll free throw, Meeske rattled in a three for a 74-68 lead. With the lead at 74-70, Williams pulled down an offensive rebound leading to a Kaczmarek free throw to give the Bees some breathing room. Trinity hit a 3-pointer to get within two but Rohr knocked down a pair from the line with 25 seconds left. After the Trolls missed a three, Kaczmarek grabbed the rebound and was fouled leading to two more free throws with 11 seconds to go to close out the scoring.

Behind the four in double figures, Rohr scored nine, Tom Kazanecki netted eight and Warren Allen added six.

Williams also led the Bees with nine rebounds as St. Ambrose outrebounded Trinity 43-31. Kaczmarek had eight boards and Kerr and Allen each pulled down seven.

St. Ambrose will next visit Trinity International Saturday.
