WOU men hold off Vikings charge on the road, win fourth game in a row

BELLINGHAM, Wash. --- The Western Oregon men's basketball team won its fourth game in a row as a three-point attempt by Western Washington in the final seconds was off the mark to give the Wolves a 72-70 win Saturday on the road.

The Wolves (9-9 overall, 6-5 GNAC) and Vikings (11-10, 4-7) were tied at 39 at the half and were event at 54-54 before a jumper by Daisone Hughes jumper ignited a 16-4 run that was capped by a Cameron Benzel bucket in the paint made it 70-58 with 4:43 remaining.

WOU would only score two points the rest of the way (a bucket by John Morrill-Keeler with 22 seconds left) and withstood a potential game-winning three-point at the buzzer to pick up its fourth win in a row - the last three by two points each.

Jahville Collins led the Wolves with 20 points - including going 3-for-4 from 3-point range. Morrill-Keeler had 12 points and five rebounds (going 6-for-7 from the field) while Hughes came off the bench with 12 points (going 5-for-6 from the field). Cameron Benzel had 14 rebounds to go along with eight points, two blocks and two steals while Qiant Myers had seven points and six assists.

The Wolves play against next Saturday at Saint Martin's.
