WVSU Men Roll Over Urbana

   The Yellow Jackets handed visiting Urbana a box-to-wire beat down Monday night in the Walker Convocation Center.

  Pat Johnson-Agwu scored the first bucket of the game and 15 minutes later the outcome was pretty much determined as WVSU cruised to an 87-70 victory.

   The lead hovered around 20 points most of the night until the Blue Knights staged one last gasp rally late in the second half to cut the WVSU lead to nine with 2:19 remaining.

    The Yellow Jackets then ran off nine of the final 10 points to reach the final score.

    Neither team could hit from outside as both finished 4-of-20 on 3-point attempts but the Yellow Jackets dominated inside. WVSU out-scored Urbana 64-28 in the paint and won the rebounding battle 49-35 with 16 of those being on the offensive end.

     Johnson-Agwu had a big game finishing with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Glen Abram added 16 points and six assists, Ernest Jenkins 11 points and five rebounds, and Kovien Dominaus had 10 points.

      Next up for the Yellow Jackets is a Sunday meeting at 2 p.m. with Chowan in the Walker Convocation Center.
