DELAWARE, Ohio -- A strong start to each half allowed Wooster, which held steady at No. 3 in this week's D3hoops.com top-25 poll, to build a lead that reached as high as 18 early in the second (55-37), then the Fighting Scots withstood a rally by Ohio Wesleyan the last 10 minutes to secure a 79-71 victory in North Coast Athletic Conference action.
It was a rematch of the 2013 NCAC tournament championship game, and Wooster (5-0, 2-0 NCAC) quickly took the upper hand this time, scoring the first four points and later constructing leads of 13-4 and 19-8. Three different Scots hit 3-pointers during that early stretch – Scott Purcell, Kenny DeBoer, and Doug Thorpe.
