ELCHO, Wis — Florence junior Patrick Millan recorded a double-double of a game-high 21 points and 17 rebounds, and sophomore point guard Evan Johnson chipped in 10 points and dished out 10 assists for a double-double of his own as the Bobcats cruised past Elcho 80-60 here Tuesday night.

Florence sophomore Dominic DeMuri drained 19 points, while freshman William Kelley canned 14 points in the Northern Lakes Conference matchup.

“Great win on the road tonight, and I am proud of my guys,” said Florence head coach Bryan Bomberg. “They battled and stuck with what was working.”

“We wanted to control tempo of the game and with that we had to be strong on the boards. We got 47 boards, only committed eight and we got to the free throw line 20 times,” Bomberg added.

The Purple Hornets had three players in double figures as well, with Chase Novak netting a team high 16 points. Cole Kupfer chipped in 11 points, while Kolton Schmidt added 10 points in the losing effort.
