Men's Basketball Big second half gives Quakers third straight win For Immediate Release:
OBERLIN, Ohio — Despite playing a tight first half on Saturday, the Earlham College men’s basketball squad eventually pulled away from Oberlin College to earn an 82-63 North Coast Athletic Conference victory. The win was the third in a row for the Quakers (9-8, 6-2) and the fifth in their last six contests. “We didn’t guard very well in the first half,” Earlham coach Jeff Justus said. “We responded and played a very good second half.” The victory by the men’s team gave Earlham a sweep of Oberlin on Saturday as the women’s squad also won 87-55. “Anytime you can go on the road that far from home and get two wins it’s pretty good,” Justus said. Senior Brandon Miller (Richmond, IN/Richmond) led the Quakers with 26 points and junior Markous Jewett (Richmond, IN/Richmond) tossed in 25 points. Both had nine rebounds, while Miller had six steals. “Brandon and Markous were difficult matchups for them.” Junior LaRon Henry (Indianapolis, IN/Scecina) and first-year Tristian Gregory (Evansville, IN/Harrison) added 10 points each. Miller’s effort moved him into a tie for 12th place on Earlham’s all-time scoring list. Miller and Greg Williams (1984-88) have 1,308 points.
Jewett and Henry are also getting closer to joining
Miller in the 1,000-point club. Jewett has 949 points, while
Henry has 920. In the second half, the Quakers quickly worked their to a double figure lead with the biggest margin of 28 points coming late in the contest. The Quakers return to action Wednesday against Denison University on Schuckman Court in the Athletics and Wellness Center. The NCAC game starts at 7:30 p.m. Box score. |
