Ohio Wesleyan 61, Kenyon 42
Senior post Tony Carter (Cleveland/Parma Heights Holy Name) had 5 points during a 12-2 second-half run that helped Ohio Wesleyan break open a North Coast Athletic Conference win over Kenyon on Wednesday in Gambier.
The Bishops led, 12-9, midway through the first half, then got a pair of 3-pointers from junior wing Landon Turnbull (Hicksville) to highlight an 11-2 stretch that opened up a 23-11 lead with 3:02 remaining in the half.
Kenyon pulled to within 27-19 at the break on a last-second trifecta by Nick Nelson, and the Owls narrowed the deficit to 27-22 as Dylan Fuerst sank 3 free throws during the opening minutes of the second period.
Sophomore wing Isaac Ward (Circleville/Logan Elm) knocked down a jumper and sophomore wing Jessee Battle (Gahanna/Lincoln) to give Ohio Wesleyan a double-digit lead and Carter followed with a basket and a 3-pointer to put the Bishops ahead, 37-24, before another Ward jumper closed out the Bishop run.
Gefen Bar-Cohen scored the next 5 points to bring the Owls within 39-29 at the 11:50 mark, but that was as close as the hosts would come.
Junior guard Henry Hinkle (Powell/Olentangy Liberty) led the Bishops with 18 points, and Battle finished with 11 points. Carter grabbed a team-high 11 rebounds.
