WINONA, MN -- Jonte Flowers scored 40 points and helped lead No 3-ranked Winona State University to an 85-63 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference win over Minnesota State University Moorhead at McCown Gymnasium.

Flowers went 15-of-21 from the field, connecting on one of four three-point field goal attempts, and netting 9-of-12 from the free throw line for his 40 points. He also added six rebounds, three assists and one steal.
