Raiders Down Wolves

SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. - Jr. Michael Oyefusii netted a career high 13 points, but it was not enough as Shippensburg University picked up the 79-57 victory Saturday afternoon in PSAC East men's basketball action inside Heiges Field House.

The Wolves (2-13, 1-11 PSAC East) took a lead at 13-12 on three-point shot by Eugene Lett with 10:14 to play in the first half.

Neither team could score, for the next two minutes, until the Raiders would go ahead with two free-throws and then push the lead to three at 16-13.

Khaalis Carter tied the game with a three-pointer, the Raiders then went on an 8-to-2 run to take a six point advantage.

The lead was at seven when Oyefusi connected from beyond the arc to start a 6-2 run for the Wolves to end the half. Shippensburg took a 32-29 edge into the break.

The second half was tight early on, and Oyefusi hit another three-pointer to make it a four point contest at 41-37 with 15:29 to play.

The Raiders scored the next 11 points to take over the game.

Oyefusi made 4-of-5 from the field including both of his three-point attempts and 3-of-5 free-throws for his career-high 13 points.

No other Cheyney player reached double figures, while Shippensburg finished with five players with double-digit scoring.

The Wolves return home for a pair of PSAC East contests this week. On Wednesday Cheyney will host Bloomsburg University at 8:00 p.m., and on Friday Kutztown comes to Cope Hall for a 3:00 p.m. tipoff.
