MILWAUKEE, Wis. — No. 12 Milwaukee Area Technical College pushed its winning streak to 10 games and remained perfect at home with a 106–87 win over Kishwaukee on Saturday. The Stormers shot nearly 60 percent from the field and used a dominant second half to stay unbeaten in Milwaukee.

MATC broke the game open with a 57‑point second half while shooting 72 percent from the field after the break. The Stormers also knocked down seven threes during that stretch. The highlight came with 10:19 remaining, when sophomore wing Turon Rivers hammered home a soaring poster dunk that pushed the margin to 75–57 and ignited the home crowd.



"All season my teammates and coaches have kept saying that I ain't getting no dunk for the whole season," Rivers said with a smile. "I was like, 'watch this.' I have been begging for a fast break and I finally got it."

MATC head coach Randy Casey called it "a great individual play" that lifted the entire gym.

The Stormers weathered an early back‑and‑forth stretch before taking control midway through the first half. After trailing 9–7 and briefly leading 11–10, MATC built advantages of 18–12 and 26-20 before breaking the game open with a 12–2 run. Threes from Aidan Chapman and Jayden Hackett fueled the surge and pushed the margin to 38–20. Kishwaukee answered with a burst of its own to close within 42–36, but MATC steadied itself and carried a 49–40 lead into halftime.

"We have to figure out ways to come out of the gate a little better," Casey said. "It just takes us a couple of minutes to get going. Once we pick up our defense and intensity, that leads to transition points and then a couple of threes."

"Mikey [Aidan Chapman] gave us a big spark off the bench in the first half," Casey added.

Kishwaukee opened the second half with a push that trimmed the margin to 54–46. MATC responded with a burst from Rivers, who scored nine of the Stormers' next 11 points to rebuild a 65–50 lead. Threes from Qi'Andre Washington and Hackett stretched the advantage to 71–57 with just over 11 minutes left. Moments later, Rivers delivered a soaring poster dunk that energized the gym and effectively broke the game open. MATC cruised from that point forward and pushed the lead as high as 30 at 96–66 before closing out its 10th straight win.

Rivers, who did not play in the opening half, credited his second‑half surge to the chance to study the game before checking in.

"I sat out the first half and so I was just watching and observing," Rivers said. "That way, I do not make the same mistakes my teammates made. I just wanted to come off the bench strong."

MATC controlled the statistical battle throughout the afternoon. The Stormers shot 59.4 percent from the field, made 13 three‑pointers and finished 17 of 20 at the line. They also won the rebounding margin 48–30 and received a major lift from their reserves, who outscored the Kishwaukee bench 54–26. Ball movement was another clear advantage, as MATC finished with 22 assists compared with 11 for the Kougars.

"It is the collectiveness," Casey said. "Everybody is doing a little bit here and there. That is something we have talked about all season. We want to be strength in numbers."

MATC received major production across its rotation. Hackett led the Stormers with 19 points on 7‑for‑11 shooting. He connected on five three‑pointers and secured 11 rebounds while adding a steal. Jordan Jones followed with 17 points, including 15 in the second half, and added four rebounds, three assists and two steals while shooting 6‑for‑7 from the field. Rivers provided a decisive lift with all 18 of his points coming after halftime, and he added five rebounds along with a block and a steal. Raydelh Boutin directed the offense with 15 points, nine assists and three rebounds on 5‑for‑7 shooting. Chapman supplied nine points on a perfect 3‑for‑3 performance from beyond the arc, including two makes from deep in the first half.
