COLUMBUS, Oh. — Capital University's men's basketball team dropped its regular season home finale, 80-74, to Heidelberg College Wednesday at The Capital Center. The No. 8 ranked Crusaders fall to 20-4 overall (15-2 OAC), while Heidelberg moves to 19-5 overall and at 13-4 in the OAC lock up second place and the No. 2 seed in next week's OAC Tournament.

Five Crusaders managed double-digit scoring nights, led by junior Nate Stahl who had 15 points on 7-for-10 shooting. Freshman D.J. Frazier, junior Quintin Mitchell, and senior Steve Kyser each chipped in 12 points, while junior Ryan Wood added 10.

Heidelberg was led by Shawn Shriver and Greg Tyson Jr. who each had a game-high 16 points, and Andrew Lemmon put up a double-double with 13 points and 18 rebounds.

The first half was a see-saw battle in which neither team led by more than five points. Capital took its largest lead of five at 11-6 on a jumper by Stahl at the 15:42 mark. The Student Princes grabbed their largest lead of the half when a three-point basket by Josh Calver made the score 35-30 with two minutes remaining in the half, but Capital closed out the opening frame on a 7-2 run to send the game to a 37-37 tie at the halfway point.

The first seven and a half minutes of the second half saw four ties and four lead changes when Tyson hit a three-pointer with 12:29 remaining in the game that would give Heidelberg a lead, 55-53, that it would not relinquish the rest of the game. Heidelberg stretched that lead out to 71-61 with 5:58 remaining, when Wood spirited a 9-0 Capital run with four free-throws, a lay-up, and a three-point basket to pull the Crusaders to within one point at 71-70, but Heidelberg would hold Capital to just four points the rest of the way to take the game 80-74.

Capital will close out the regular season Saturday at 7:30 p.m. when they travel to Otterbein College as part of a men-women double-header in Westerville.
