St. Olaf jumped to a 20-2 lead and cruised to a 74-56 non-conference win over Luther College Tuesday night at Skoglund Athletic Center.

The Oles (2-1) had four players score at least ten in the win. Justin Bonestroo (Sr., Stillwater, Minn.) and Mike Ludwig (Sr., Blaine, Minn.) each had 17, while Matt Schlenker (Jr., Rochester, Minn./Mayo) and Tim Nelson (Sr., Braham, Minn.) added ten apiece.

Luther (0-2) closed the lead to eight midway through the first half, but could not get closer. Brandon Grimm had 20 points to lead the Norse.

St. Olaf will host Concordia-Moorhead College on Saturday at 3 p.m. The game will follow the women's, which begins at 1 p.m. Both games are free of admission.
