MIDDLETOWN, CT — The Williams men’s basketball team (13-5, 3-0) defeated the Cardinals of Wesleyan (5-10, 1-2) Friday night 62-49 despite an atypically poor shooting performance.
The Ephs were a shocking 1 for 20 on the game from three-point range but somehow managed to come away with a 13-point victory on the road.
“I’m very pleased with this win,” said Eph Coach Mike Maker, “to be able to have an off shooting night and still win a road game in the NESCAC is a great accomplishment.”
The Cardinals were almost equally abysmal from long range, making only 2 out of 16 from long range on the game. Williams held Wesleyan to just 36% shooting on the game, but where the Ephs really buried the Cardinals was at the free throw line. Williams was a ridiculous 23 for 25 from the charity stripe on the game while holding the home team to a 3 for 4 performance.
“We’ve made more free throws than our opponents have attempted this season, and that’s something I’m very proud of,” said Maker.
Despite the poor shooting, the Ephs had great balance on offense as four players scored in double figures. Leading the way was Eph leading-scorer Blake Schultz (Atherton, CA) with 14 points, followed by junior Joe Geoghegan (Cape Elizabeth, ME) and sophomore Troy Whittington (Brooklyn, NY) with 11 each. Senior co-captain Kevin Snyder (Littleton, CO) added 10 points and four of Williams’ six assists on the game.
For the Cardinals only forwards Jason Mendell and David Maltz managed double figures, scoring 15 and 12 points respectively.
