Ohio Wesleyan 83, Allegheny 65

DELAWARE, Ohio — Senior guard Bryan King hit a pair of 3-pointers and sophomore post Ben Chojnacki had a pair of buckets during an early 10-0 run that put Ohio Wesleyan ahead to stay, and sophomore wing David Yuskewich drilled a 3-pointer to cap a second-half 9-0 run that sealed an 83-65 North Coast Athletic Conference win over Allegheny on Saturday at Branch Rickey Arena.

The Gators had taken a 5-3 lead on a pair of free throws by Quinn O'Brien with 17:39 left in the first half before Chojnacki's lay-in tied the game and King's first 3-pointer put the Bishops ahead to stay. Chojnacki added another lay-in with 14:36 left in the first half and King drained a 3-pointer to give the Bishops a 13-5 lead with 14:05 to play in the period.

Justin Schmitt hit a pair of buckets to bring Allegheny back to within 13-9, but sophomore wing Ted Uritus hit a 3-pointer, King added a pair of free throws and junior guard Raymond Strain sank a jumper to give the Bishops a 20-9 lead.

Uritus, King and junior wing Andy Warnock hit 3-pointers during the closing minutes of the half as Ohio Wesleyan widened the lead to 34-16, but Allegheny charged back in the closing seconds of the period, getting a 3-pointer by Schmitt and a steal and lay-in by Pat Brannigan to close to within 34-21 at halftime.

Allegheny had edged to within 51-43 on Chase McKim's 3-pointer with 11:45 left in regulation time, but Ohio Wesleyan responded with a pair of free throws by freshman wing Brian Cafarella, a jumper by freshman post Dustin Rudegeair, a Warnock lay-in and Yuskewich's 3-pointer to take a 60-43 lead with 8:36 to play, and the Bishop lead remained in double figures throughout the remainder of the contest.
