Ohio Wesleyan 68, Oberlin 51

Feb. 2, 2005

Junior wing Andy Warnock (Delaware/Hayes) 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 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 (Medina) to kick off the 9-0 run.

Senior guard Bryan King (Sidney) 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 (Yellow Springs) 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 (Westerville/St. Charles) 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 (Fairview Park/Fairview) 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 (Marysville/Fairbanks) 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.
