Baden Forup collected his second straight double with 18 points and a career-high 14 rebounds, and Jay Rose added a game-high 20 points off the bench to lead a balanced Pitt-Johnstown attack that saw all eight players with significant minutes score at least seven points in a dominating, 92-71, non-conference win at Davis & Elkins, Saturday afternoon in Elkins, W.Va.
 
Along with Forup and Rose, Cedric Rault tallied 11 points, while Vinnie Cugini scored all 10 of his points in the first half for the Mountain Cats, now 4-2.  Nick Watts (7 rebounds) and Will Kromka (6 rebounds) each finished with nine points, Adam Bilinsky had eight points, and freshman Ryan Calo tallied seven points and a career-high seven boards.
 
In a first half full of runs, Cugini scored eight straight points ahead of Forup's put-back capped a 10-0 Pitt-Johnstown run that gave the Mountain Cats an 18-12 advantage seven minutes into the game.
 
Davis & Elkins came right back and used 3-pointers from Matthew Gray and Dontrell Jenkins to close a 10-0 run of its own to retake the lead, but the Mountain Cats, who shot 48% and held the Senators to just 39% in the opening 20 minutes, took control and outscored Davis & Elkins, 18-5, over the next five minutes to build a nine-point advantage.
 
Rose's 3-pointer, followed by five points from Watts ignited the run, before Bilinsky's bucket in the paint put Pitt-Johnstown on top, 36-27, at the 4-minute mark.
 
The Senators closed the gap to four, but three more of Rose's 14 first half points as time expired gave the Mountain Cats a 43-36 halftime lead.
 
Pitt-Johnstown hit eight of its first 12 shots to begin the second half and got a driving layup from Rault and a 3-pointer from Kromka at 16:24 to push it into double figures at 56-44.
 
The Mountain Cats pulled away and never let Davis & Elkins get closer than nine the rest of the way.
 
Baskets from Watts and Rault midway through the half extended it to 75-55, and Pitt-Johnstown cruised to the 21-point victory.
 
The Mountain Cats, who outrebounded the Senators, 44-35, held a 58-38 advantage in points in the paint and outscored Davis & Elkins, 20-9 in points off turnovers.
 
Pitt-Johnstown improved its first half shooting to 54.4% in the second half and ended the game at 50.7% 37-73), while limiting the Senators to just 36.8% (28-76) shooting for the game.  The Mountain Cats knocked down five 3-pointers and hit 13-15 from the line.  Davis & Elkins was 9-9 from the charity stripe.
 
Vegan Evans' 12 points and Gray's 11 points paced four senators who scored in double figures.
 
With the loss, Davis & Elkins fell to 2-4.
 
Pitt-Johnstown returns home to host a non-conference game against Penn State-Greater Allegheny, Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Sports Center, before beginning PSAC Crossover-play at West Chester on Saturday.
