Six players scored in double figures for Weber State led by senior Joel Bolomboy with 18 points in just 16 minutes of play. He was a perfect 8-of-8 from the field, which ranks in a tie for the second best shooting performance in Weber State history. He also grabbed 14 rebounds for his 12th double-double, the most of any player in the country.
