  • Zac Velthouse hit a three with 10:28 to play in the first half to give CU their first lead, 24-23.

  • Cedric Delancy Jr. of the Racers helped them to stay in the game with a layup that again cut the deficit back to one with 2:40 to play in the first half. 
  • Cornerstone ended the first half on a 10-1 run to lead 48-38 at the intermission. 
  • The second half began with a Golden Eagle 8-2 run with player's getting easy layups, as Carter Nyp, Eli Steffen, and Cory Ainsworth all scored down low. CU increased their lead to 56-40 for the largest of the game at that point. 
  • UNOH's Cam Miles helped them cut the deficit to as low as seven at the free throw line. 
  • Cory Ainsworth started to take over down low mid second half hitting a big and-one to go back on top 68-53 with 11:53 to play. 
  • Ainsworth's and one was part of a Golden Eagle 13-0 run that increased the advantage to 22 with 9:16 to play. 
  • The offensive dominance continued as Mason Brooks hit a layup with 6:02 left to make it 90-60. 
  • CU saw some bench players get some action late in another dominant performance as they took home a 105-73 road victory at Northwestern Ohio, improving to 2-0 in WHAC play.
