GUNNISON, Colo. - Joe Miks' three-point bonanza and a perfect game by Michael Glen guided Colorado School of Mines in a 109-60 blowout at Western Colorado on Friday.

The Orediggers (5-3, 2-0 RMAC) won their fourth straight game, shooting 61.2 percent led by Glen, who was 9-for-9 for 22 points, and Miks, who was an eye-popping 9-for-11 from three-point range on his way to a career-high 29 points.

Mason Baker scored 12 and Ben Sonnefeld and Brendon Sullivan each pitched in 10 points. The Mines bench outscored the Mountaineers' 48-13 as all 11 players who traveled scored in the game.

The game was never in doubt as Mines took a 17-2 lead in the first six minutes and never looked back, leading 47-19 at the half as they held WCU to 26.9 percent in the first half while canning 18-of-33 (54.5%) on the offensive end including 7-of-14 from the outside.

The second half began with a 20-5 run as Glen accounted for seven of those points, and Miks hit 15 points - all on three-pointers - in a 2:47 span later in the half to blow the lead to an incredible 61 at one point before the Mountaineer reserves played a competitive final 10 minutes.
