Switzer's Career Night Gives Men's Basketball Second Straight OAC Win

The win was Mount Union's second straight and moves its record to 7-1 overall and 2-1 in the OAC, while Baldwin-Wallace remains winless in the OAC (0-3) and is 2-6 overall.

 

Along with Switzer, fellow senior Luke Conley (Louisville/Louisville) scored 14 points to pace the Raiders.

 

Louis Tumblin scored 15 points to lead the Yellow Jackets.

 

A back and fourth first half that featured nine ties and four lead changes saw Mount Union take control when the Raiders were leading 26-24 and got a jumper from Conley and three-pointer from King to extend the lead to 31-24 with five minutes left in half.    Mount Union would take an eight-point lead, 38-30 into the lockers.

 

The Raiders opened the second half on a 14-4 run to take their largest lead of the game, 51-34 on a Ben Hodkinson (Tippecanoe/Harrison Central) three-pointer with 14:16 left in the contest.

 

The Raiders next play Saturday at home against Otterbein in an OAC game at 3 p.m. with all fans being admitted FREE for the game.
