Saturday's road game at Parkside was a game of runs from the onset.

The Lakers went on a 7-0 run with an Isaac Gassman three-pointer, a pair of free throws from Deleon Brown and a jumper by Jake Van Tubbergen to build a 31-23 lead with 6:27 left in the half. Parkside hit its sixth three-pointer of the first half to pull within three (40-37) at the half. 
 
Van Tubbergen opened the second half with a bucket, followed by a Gassman layup and a Van Tubbergen three-pointer to push the GVSU lead to 10 (47-37). A Christian Negron dunk gave the Lakers a 54-48 lead with 15:02 left, but an 8-1 run by Parkside over a span of 4:32 allowed the Rangers to take a 56-55 advantage. 
 
Van Tubbergen hit a pair of free throws and short jumper to ignite a 9-0 run and give the Lakers a 64-56 lead with 7:54 remaining in the game, however, a 10-2 run for Parkside tied the game at 66-66 with 5:33 left in the game. 
 
Senior guard Jordan Harris hit a jumper and Negron pulled down an offensive rebound and put back a dunk to give the Lakers a 70-66 lead. Van Tubbergen hit four free throws and a bucket down the stretch and Harris added four points for the final margin. 
 
Van Tubbergen led the way with a season-high 32 points, converting 10-of-14 shots, including 3-of-4 three-pointers and was 9-for-10 from the charity stripe. Negron added a double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds, followed by Harris' 10-point, five-assist and four-rebound effort. Gassman chipped in seven points and Luke Tolliver six. GVSU shot 50 percent from the three-point line (7-for-14) and a season-best 88.5 percent from free throw line (23-for-26). The Lakers also outrebounded Parkside 36-26.
