Green Level's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Trevor Manhertz led the charge by dropping a double-double on 13 points and ten assists. The dominant performance gave Manhertz a new career-high in assists. Another player making a difference was Israel Eatman, who went 7 for 14 en route to 18 points.
Manhertz wasn't the only one working in the assists department: Green Level was working as a unit and finished the game with 20 assists. That's the most assists they've managed all season.
