DOVER, Del. - Wesley College picked up its third CAC win of the season with a 68-62 win over visiting Frostburg State behind 16 points apiece from Paul Reynolds (Smyrna, Del./Smyrna) and Darrell Johnson (New Castle, Del./Howard).

Frostburg State pulled to within three with 28 seconds to play, but the Wolverines iced the game with free throws by Johnson and Rudy Thomas (Milton, Del./Sussex Tech) in the closing seconds. 

Reynolds posted a double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds and added two steals.  He hit 7-of-10 from the floor.  A dozen of his points came in the second half.

Johnson hit 6-of-13 field goals and added a 4-of-4 night at the foul line to go along with five boards.

Chris Douglas (Landover, Md./Jericho Prep Academy) also reached double figures with 12 points and Sean McAndrew (Lanoka Harbor, N.J./Lacey Township) hauled in eight rebounds.

Maurice Williams led the Bobcats with 15 points.  While he was the only starter in double digits, both Bradley Nunn and Troy Dockett had big nights off the bench.  Nunn had 13 points and 11 rebounds, while Dockett scored 11 points.

The two teams slogged through a rough first half to enter the locker room tied at 23-23 behind matching 10-of-32 shooting lines.  Wesley managed to improve its mark to 46 percent during the second half, which proved to be the difference.  That and a 42-30 edge on points in the paint.

The Wolverines conclude a three-game week when No. 11 St. Mary's (Md.) visits Dover.
