Second Half Struggles Lead to Quakers Loss to John Carroll

(WILMINGTON, Ohio) – The Wilmington College men's basketball team played a strong first half against the John Carroll University Blue Streaks Saturday afternoon at Hermann Court but struggled in the second half in an 81-65 loss. Despite four players scoring in double digits, the Quakers had no answer for the strong John Carroll offense during the second 20 minutes as they fall to 5-16 overall this season and 3-11 in the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC).

The Quakers held an early 9-8 lead thanks to four Rashid Chisholm points before an 9-2 Blue Streaks flurry put them ahead 17-11 with 10:50 remaining in the first half. The Quakers came back with an 11-2 push of their own to grab a 22-19 advantage after a three pointer from Ben Golan gave them the lead.

Wilmington led by as many as six points at 28-22 with 4:17 to play before John Carroll exploded for a 13-0 run to end the half leading 35-28 and hold all the momentum. John Carroll came out hot in the second half, taking a 44-33 lead less than three minutes into the half and never looking back, taking the game 81-65.
