Men's Basketball Wins Conference Opener

Earns Tough Road Victory

    WVSU and Shepherd traded buckets to start Saturday's game in Shepherdstown.

    The Jackets eventually pulled into the lead on the way to an 88-80 win.

    Gus Stone got things rolling for the Yellow Jackets with a 3-pointer. The Rams countered. Glen Abram hit another 3-pointer for WVSU. Shepherd countered again.

    So went the first half.

     Neither team could stretch an advantage to more than four points before heading into break tied at 38-38.

    The Jackets scored the first five points of the second half on a pair of free throws by Stone and another Abram 3-pointer.

    The Rams never caught up again as WVSU stretched the margin to as many as 12 points midway through the second half.

    Stone finished with 26 points, junior Ernest Jenkins 22, Abram 14, and Jerry Moore 11.

   The WVSU women dropped an 84-74 decision to Shepherd in Saturday's first game.

    Both teams play next at Fairmont State on Monday. The women tip off at 5:30 p.m. followed by the men at 7:30.
