Darko-Kelly Records Triple Double in Win over Bulldogs

GREAT FALLS, Mont. – Zaccheus Darko-Kelly had a triple-double to lead the 11th ranked University of Providence men's basketball team to a 100-85 victory over Montana Western Saturday night.

Darko-Kelly checked out of the game with 21 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists on the evening. He also recorded two blocks and two steals. He is the first player in head coach Steve Keller's collegiate coaching career to have ever recorded a triple-double.

"We switched him to the point to make sure has the ball in his hands a little bit more," Keller said. "He made really good decisions. He's just a really special player."

Darko-Kelly was one of the five Argos to hit double-digits Saturday and one of three to score over 20. Jaxen Hashley recorded a career-high 24 points along with 11 rebounds and 4 assists.  Brandon Cotton scored 21 points and had 3 assists. Dawson Fowler nearly reached a double-double with 12 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists while Rashee Stocks scored 11 points. The team also recorded 25 assists as a team for the evening.

"All of our guys played hard tonight," Keller said. "Z obviously played exceptional. Jaxen had his career-high. Brandon had 21. We had five guys in double figures. We shared the ball. 25 assists is a lot of assists in a game. I'm just happy. This was a big game. We are at 20 wins. Now we have to keep it going."

The Argos have a tough road trip next week. They'll travel to Lewiston, Idaho to take on #5 Lewis-Clark State on Thursday and then on to Butte, Mont. on Saturday to face Montana Tech.
