TERRE HAUTE, Ind.  --  Andrew Young (Ballwin, MO/Marquette) recorded 22 points and 10 rebounds yesterday, helping the Miners win their season opener by 91-77 over Ohio Dominican.

Young was the only player on either team to record a double-double, while his 22 points and 10 rebounds were both team highs for the game. He played for a total of 31 minutes, shooting 54.5% from the field. Young also was perfect from the three-point line, going 2-for-2, and was 8-of-9 on free throws, including going 6-for-6 late in the second half to help the Miners take a commanding lead.
