Fairmont State used a balanced attack with Nick Harney and Jamel Morris each scoring 16 points apiece. Caleb Davis was big for FSU scoring 15 points off the bench, including 10 key points in a six-minute stretch that helped Fairmont State hold off a WJU run. 

"I knew coming into the game that they were going to sag off me, so when I threw it in to Nick (Harney), so it way my thought to cut to the basket and stay aggressive," Davis said.

Wheeling Jesuit (21-10) had a 39-28 edge on the glass, with 15 of those coming on the offensive end. However, the Cardinals shot 36 percent from the field and just 13 percent from three-point range. Pat Moseh led WJU with 20 points and Haywood Highsmith scored 13 points to go with 12 rebounds. 

"This was a very, very hard fought game, a very physical game," said head coach Jerrod Calhoun. "Our game plan was to take away the three -- we did a tremendous job. I love my team right now and I think we're very dangerous."

"The two keys in this game was holding them to 2-for 15 from three-point, and Caleb's play down the stretch," Harney said. "Caleb just gave us a lot of relief because it was tough for us to get isolation plays, so when Caleb has it going it makes us so much easier for everyone else."
