Freshmen Make Immediate Impact in Season-Opener

Haven Fisher, from Prior Lake, Minn., came off the bench and scored 11 points in just under 25 minutes on the floor.
Peavy scored nine points, all in the first quarter, and Toman drained a pair of threes for six points.

Cartwright Enjoys Career Night to Open the New Season
