Feb. 15, 2006

Senior wing Andy Warnock (Delaware/Hayes) scored 6 points and sophomore post Dustin Rudegeair (Yellow Springs) added 5 more during an early 15-0 run that started Ohio Wesleyan on its way to a North Coast Athletic Conference win over Oberlin on Wednesday in Oberlin.

The Yeomen had taken a 4-0 lead exactly 2 minutes into the game on baskets by Noah Goldman and Brad Spelich.

Rudegeair then put the Bishops on the scoreboard with a jumper, and Warnock followed with a 3-pointer that gave Ohio Wesleyan the lead for good. Rudegeair and Warnock then hit 3-pointers to stretch the Bishop lead to 11-4, and a basket by junior post Ben Chojnacki (Medina) and a pair of free throws by senior guard Ross Rybarczyk (Oberlin/Elyria Catholic) made it 15-4 with 13:52 left in the first half.

Oberlin rallied with a 3-pointer by Mike Loll and a 3-point play from Spelich to close within 15-10, but the Bishops answered with 6 straight points of their own, collecting a basket by freshman guard Tim Patten (Mechanicsburg), a free throw by sophomore post Jesse Jean (Alexandria, Va./Hyde (Conn.) School) and a 3-pointer by junior guard Matt Shirer (Medina) to restore the 11-point margin.

The Yeomen had one more run in them, getting a 3-pointer from Spencer and a lay-in by D.J. Maynard to come within 21-15 with 9:52 left in the half.

Ohio Wesleyan came back with another 6-point burst, collecting a jumper by Jean, a free throw by Rudegeair and a 3-pointer by Warnock to take a 27-15 lead, and the margin remained in double figures throughout the remainder of the contest.
