Pack rolls to exhibition win

RENO, Nev. – Four members of the Wolf Pack scored in double digits Monday night as Nevada claimed a 90-55 exhibition victory over Dominican University of California at Lawlor Events Center.

Nevada outscored the Penguins, 49-24, in the second half, limiting Dominican to just 33.3 percent from the field.

The Pack shot 49.2 percent from the field in the tuneup for next Tuesday's (Nov. 9) regular-season opener against Eastern Washington. Nevada's size also proved a major issue for the Penguins, as the Pack won the rebound battle, 47-33, and forced 33 Dominican fouls.

Nevada's 2021 All-Mountain West duo of Grant Sherfield and Desmond Cambridge Jr. combined for 34 points, and got the Pack offense going right away. Cambridge Jr., who finished the night with 15 points and was 3-for-7 from deep, knocked down his first two 3-point attempts, followed by Sherfield's first, to get Nevada out to a quick 9-4 lead.

Sherfield led all players with 19 points and seven assists, going 5-for-6 from the field.

Transfers AJ Bramah (Robert Morris) and Will Baker (Texas) each also finished in double figures, with Baker going for 12 points and eight rebounds. Bramah came off the bench to go 5-for-7 from the field, finishing with 15 points and seven rebounds.

Nevada blew the game open with a 21-0 run in less than four minutes early in the second half, turning a nine-point lead into a comfortable 28-point cushion. The run featured back-to-back triples from Cambridge Jr. and Sherfield, with the latter's going for a four-point play after a Dominican foul with 11:36 to go.

Bramah capped the run with a pair of free throws before the Penguins snapped their five-minute, 42-second scoreless drought with a Matthew Hallam jumper.

The Pack shot 44.8 percent over the first 20 minutes and took a 41-31 lead into the break.

Guard Adam Parker led the Penguins with 17 points, the only Dominican player in double figures.
