Box Score

Springfield, Ohio – Wittenberg University made 16 three-pointers as it cruised to a 82-56 victory over the Oberlin College men's basketball team on Saturday afternoon at Pam Evans Smith Arena.

Freshman Andrew Fox led the Yeomen with 15 points. Sophomore Dahsan Gary scored a career-high 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting, while classmate Marcus Johnson also added 10 points in the loss.

“We need to get some more confidence in ourselves and believe we can play with these teams, because I believe we can,” Head Coach Isaiah Cavaco said. “We need to work on guarding the perimeter because the 3-point shot has been killing us lately.”

Oberlin (4-9, 0-4 NCAC) scored the first four points of the game and played right with the Tigers for the first 10 minutes of play, but Wittenberg (11-2, 3-1 NCAC) dialed in on eight triple-tries in the first half en route to leading 40-30 at the break.

In the second half the Tigers quickly built a 15-point lead and never let the Yeomen get back into it as they led by double-digits the rest of the way.

The Tigers finished a blistering 61.5-percent (16-of-26) from long range and 51.7-percent (31-of-60) overall. Oberlin checked in at 41.5-percent (17-of-41) in the game.

On a positive note, Oberlin did shoot 79.2-percent (19-of-24) at the free throw line.

The Yeomen will hope to snap their four-game skid when they travel to Hiram College on Wednesday night for a 7:30 p.m. conference clash.
