VALPARAISO, Ind. -- Shane Hammink scored 15 points and Valparaiso collected its 20th win of the season and its 10 Horizon League victory with a 78-57 romp past Cleveland State on Thursday night.

Valpo (20-5, 10-2) wasted little time getting back on track, racing to a 20-point halftime lead, 44-24.
