Wesley stayed unbeaten with a 78-72 road win over No. 8 Hampden-Sydney. David Langan scored eight points in a four-minute span to put the Wolverines for good. He finished with a double-double (14 points, 10 rebounds) and James Livingston scored 23 points for the Wolverines (4-0).
No. 9 Cabrini topped Scranton 98-79 behind another big night from Aaron Walton-Moss. He led the Cavaliers in points (37), rebounds (10), assists (six) and steals (four). Guilford is the first team to six wins as the Quakers defeated Randolph-Macon 73-71 on a last second shot by Matt McCarthy.
Southwestern rallied from a 13-point deficit to edge No. 6 Mary Hardin-Baylor 62-58. Stevenson dominated Alvernia 75-52 in a meeting of the Commonwealth Conference's preseason favorites.
