Box Score Bismarck, ND - In a battle between two longtime foes who haven't met for over 5 years, it took two overtimes before visiting Minot State University was able to knock off the University of Mary 92-88. Darius Robinson led the Marauders with a game-high 23 points and Alex Dorr posted a double double on a night that saw seven players foul out.

In the initial overtime, the Beavers (1-4 overall) would build a six point advantage before the Marauders retaliated. Twice in the last minute Damon Williams would hit layups to pull the Marauders even, the second with five seconds on the clock to force another session.

Smith would open the second overtime with two free throw but the Beavers rolled off eight straight points, making 6-of-7 free throw attempts. The Marauders could get nothing going in the second bonus session, missing all six shots from the field and turning the ball over four times.

Robinson hit three treys and made two steals on his way to 23 points.

Dorr had 13 points and tied for game-high honors with 13 rebounds. He also had three blocks and two steals. Smith added 16 points, nine rebounds, four assists and three blocks. Josh Turner was the fourth Marauders player in double figures, scoring 14 points.
