SAN ANTONIO, Texas—Marcel Davis scored a game-high 19 points and Hayes Garrity made a splash in his first action of the season with 17 points to lead the Utah Valley University men's basketball team to an 83-78 road win at UTSA Saturday night at the Convocation Center.
 
With the win, Utah Valley improves to 5-6 overall on the season. UTSA falls to 2-10 with the loss. The Wolverines have now won three straight dating back to a double overtime win over Weber State on Dec. 9.
 
Tied 76-76 with 1:55 to play, Davis drove into the paint and hit a layup to give UVU a 78-76 advantage. After a missed UTSA shot on the other end, Davis knocked down a 15-footer as the shot clock expired to secure an 80-76 UVU lead with just 48 seconds remaining. Davis hit a free throw and Konner Frey went 2-for-2 at the line over the final 30 seconds to claim the victory.
 
"I'm so happy for our guys," said Utah Valley head coach Mark Pope. "Our guys battle and we had guys do some great things tonight. Hayes jumps right back into the lineup and knocks down his first four threes, including one at the halftime buzzer. Marcel has the play of the game as he hits a huge jumper with less than a minute to go and as the shot clock expires. Every single one of our guys contributed tonight and I couldn't be more proud."
 
Davis scored his 19 points on 8-of-12 shooting from the field. He also pulled down five rebounds and dished out five assists. Garrity collected his 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting from the floor, including a career-best 5-of-6 clip from beyond the arc.
