The win was John Carroll's 11th in a row makes them 15-4 overall and allows them to stay in a first place tie with Capital University at 11-2 in the OAC.  Mount Union sees a two-game win streak end and the Purple Raiders are now 11-9 overall and 5-8 in the OAC.

Corey Shontz nailed seven of 11 shots from the floor including five three-pointers to tally a game-high 22 points as one of four players in double figures and lead a John Carroll team that converted 13 of 23 three point shots.

Mount Union got 20 points from Chris Switzer (Euclid/Stow-Munroe Falls), a second-straight double-double from Dave Pellerite (Olmsted Falls/Olmsted Falls) with 16 points and 10 rebounds along with 10 points from Jay Mathis (Tallmadge/Tallmadge).

The Raiders did hold an 18-17 lead when Pellerite hit a layup with 10:20 remaining in the first half, but Mount Union would be outscored 27-7 for the rest of the frame as John Carroll would go on a 14-0 run to close out the half and lead 44-25 at the half and cruise the rest of the way.

Mount Union plays the OAC's two Central Ohio schools on the road next with a game Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. at Otterbein College in Westerville and then next Wednesday (Feb. 11) at 7 p.m. at No. 8 in the nation Capital University in Bexley.
