Once again Gallaudet got off to a strong start, leading Wesley College 20-17, 11 minutes into the first half after Sekoe White hit a jumper and made the free throw, after he was fouled.  Wesley then went on a 8-0 run and never relinquished the lead, even though Gallaudet closed it to 2 with 2 and a half minutes left on a three pointer by Johnny Jackson, Jr. The final score was 94-74.

Wesley went on a 12-3 run to end the first half, then started the second half with a 23-10 run to go up by 24 and Gallaudet was never able to make a game of it after that. Costly turnovers were a factor in the loss today.

White had a nice all-around game for the Bison today, scoring 19 points on 6-11 shooting, grabbing 8 rebounds, and dishing out 5 assists and getting 3 steals. Tony Tatum also scored 19 points on 9-16 shooting. Jackson scored 17 points by going 6-9 from the floor, including 2 3-pointers and he also grabbed 6 rebounds and made 2 steals.

Jeremy Thrush came off the bench to score 6 points and grab 5 rebounds.

As a team, Gallaudet was 28-57 from the field, making 49% of their shots. The defense forced 20 turnovers. Free-throw shooting and offensive turnovers were costly for the Bison.  They shot just 11-26 from the line.

Next week, Gallaudet doesn't have any games, because it's final exam week, and Head Coach Jeb Barber wants his players to focus on their academics, during this important week. Following finals week, Gallaudet will travel to Knoxville, Tennessee where they will face Johnson Bible College on December 15. 

Gallaudet is now 4-2 on the season and 0-2 in the Capital Athletic Conference.
