SPRINGFIELD — The Wittenberg University men's team continued its impressive early season winning ways on Wednesday with a 90-69 victory over visiting Wabash College. The Tigers trailed for about 30 seconds in the opening minute of the game and then kicked it into overdrive, eventually breaking the game open with a 24-9 run in the last seven minutes of the first half.

The Tigers were led by a career night off the bench from sophomore forward Peter Walker (Louisville, Ky./St. Xavier), who poured in 21 points and seven rebounds. His previous high point total was 16 last year against Oberlin.

While Walker provided the energy off the bench, junior center B.J. Harris (Riverside, Ohio/Stebbins) had another outstanding offensive game from his starting center position. In just 23 minutes of action, Harris contributed 16 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. He was 7-of-9 from the floor in the game as he turned in his fourth double-double in six games this season.

Also finishing in double-figures for the balanced Tigers was junior forward Kevin Longley (Vandalia, Ohio/Butler), who chipped in with 11 points and nine rebounds before fouling out late in the game.

The Tigers return to action on Saturday as they travel to Meadville, Pa. to play NCAC rival Allegheny.
