Cal State Fullerton 86, Lewis-Clark State 46--The Titans didn’t have talented sophomore Ike Harmon in the lineup, but they didn’t need him.

Lewis-Clark State needed a few more Fullerton regulars on the sidelines to have kept it from being anything but a runaway in front of 912 at Titan Gym. The Warriors had enough problems trying to handle senior guard Chris Dade.

Dade scored 26 points in 26 minutes and the Titans coasted to their most decisive victory since winning, 91-39, at home against Seattle in 1985.

Harmon was held out of the game because of a mild concussion suffered last Saturday in Fullerton’s victory over Norfolk State, but is expected back for Saturday’s game against Loyola Marymount.

Lewis-Clark State, an NAIA team from Lewiston, Idaho, was scrappy but clearly overmatched. The Warriors (1-2) trailed, 36-27, at halftime, mainly because Fullerton’s shooting cooled in the four minutes before the break.

But the Titans (2-1) went into high gear quickly in the second half by outscoring the Warriors, 18-4, in the first 4 1/2 minutes. The lead soared to 30 points with nine minutes left, and Coach Bob Hawking had all of his starters out of the game with nearly eight minutes to go.

“I was pleased that we were able to get a lot of guys in the game for some extended periods, and we got to see a lot of different combinations,” Hawking said.

Dade made the most of his opportunity, making 11 of 16 shots, including four of seven from three-point range.
