Ohio Wesleyan 68, Oberlin 51

DELAWARE, Ohio — Junior wing Andy Warnock hit a 3-pointer to key a 9-0 first-half run and the Ohio Wesleyan defense held Oberlin without a field goal for a stretch of 7 minutes during the second half as the Bishops defeated the Yeomen, 68-51, in North Coast Athletic Conference play on Wednesday at Branch Rickey Arena.

Both teams started out slowly, but the Bishops pulled ahead by a score of 15-7 at the midway point of the first half.

Oberlin got a pair of 3-pointers by Quinton Spencer and a basket by Dewayne Evans to pull within 18-15 with 7:30 left in the period, but Ohio Wesleyan answered with a fast break bucket by sophomore post Ben Chojnacki to kick off the 9-0 run.

Senior guard Bryan King followed with a lay-in, then Warnock connected from long range to give the Bishops a 25-15 lead with 5:08 left in the half. Freshman post Dustin Rudegeair added 2 free throws to stretch the Bishop lead to an even dozen at 27-15, and the Bishops ended up leading by 12 at halftime, at 31-19.

Spencer hit a layup and a 3-pointer in the opening minutes of the second half to bring Oberlin within 31-24, and the Yeomen were still within 42-34 on Jordan Beard's 3-pointer with 12:33 to play. Rudegeair and freshman guard Casey Teeters scored for the Bishops and Matthew Godwin answered with a bucket for Oberlin to make it a 46-36 game with 11:24 left.

The Yeomen did not score another basket until Steve Reid hit a lay-in with 4:20 to play, and by then, Ohio Wesleyan was on top by a 62-40 margin. Rudegeair started off the Bishop spurt with a lay-in, and freshman post Ryan Rozak converted both an old-fashioned 3-point play and a 3-point basket.

Rudegeair led the Bishops with 14 points and shared the team lead with 6 rebounds. Warnock added 13 points, senior guard Tyler Reed also shared the team lead with 6 rebounds and had a team-high 4 assists.

Spencer led the Yeomen with 19 points and shared the team lead with 4 rebounds. Matthew Kaplan also shared the team lead with 4 rebounds and Evans and Reid had 2 assists apiece.
