Men's Basketball Comes Up Short at Baldwin Wallace Saturday

(BEREA, Ohio) – The Wilmington College men's basketball team lost a road contest Saturday afternoon at Baldwin Wallace University, 69-65. The Quakers were within two with a minute remaining, but the Yellow Jackets held the Quakers off in Ursprung Gymnasium.

Both teams fought out to an 11-11 stalemate a little over five minutes into the contest. The Quakers eventually took an 18-17 lead but wouldn't score for nearly nine minutes as they fell behind 23-18. Wilmington got the lead back late in the first half with an 8-2 flurry for a 26-25 halftime advantage. Ben Golan had four points during this time for the Quakers.

Wilmington started off the second half on a quick 5-0 scurry for a 31-25 lead. Baldwin Wallace tied the game at 35-35. However, four Domenic Farley points followed by an Obed Achirem layup pushed the Quakers lead back out to 41-35 with just under 15 minutes remaining in the contest.

The Yellow Jackets followed this with a huge 30-12 run for their largest lead of the half at 65-53 with 4:37 to play.

A 12-2 explosion from Wilmington cut the lead to 67-65 with just over a minute left. This rally was led by Rashid Chisholm and Elijah Cathey. Unfortunately, the Quakers wouldn't score another point and lost 69-65.
