Chicago, Ill.- The Wheaton men's basketball team tied a school record with 17 three-pointers in a lopsided 103-66 victory at North Park on Wednesday night. Eleven different Wheaton players scored in the rout as Wheaton improved to 17-6 overall and remained atop the CCIW with a 10-2 conference mark.  The victory is Wheaton's seventh consecutive win, its longest conference winning streak since a similar seven-game streak in 2008-09. North Park falls to 4-18 overall and 1-10 in CCIW play.

Wheaton shot a hefty 55.2% (37-67) from the field including 17-35 (48.6%) from the three-point line while managing to shoot 12-17 (70.6%) from the free throw line. North Park shot 47.1% (24-51) from the field and 4-10 from beyond the arc while shooting just 14-24 (58.3%) from the free throw line. Wheaton won the rebound battle 43-25 including a 17-7 edge on the offensive glass.

Wheaton jumped out to double digit lead in the first five minutes of action and led 24-4 following a Brayden Teuscher lay-up at the 12:21 mark of the first half. Michael Berg's free throw with 3:50 to play in the half gave the Thunder its biggest lead of the half at 44-17, a 27-bulge that would be equaled on a Nate Haynes (PICTURED RIGHT) lay-up later in the half. Wheaton would take a 48-25 edge into the locker room.

The Vikings were able to cut the deficit to 15 with 11:41 to play but Wheaton responded with consecutive three-pointers by Peter Smith and Tad Fisher to spark an extended 21-5 run that saw the Thunder push the lead to 84-53 with 6:43 to play. Wheaton hit four three-pointers during the run including three by Fisher. Consecutive three-pointers by Riley Teuscher pushed Wheaton over the century mark and a late lay-up by Jonathan Berntsen gave Wheaton its biggest lead of the night at the final score of 103-66.

Caleb DeMoss led four Thunder scorers in double digits with a career-high 21 points including five three-pointers. Brayden Teuscher was perfect on three longballs to finish with 18 points, Nate Haynes scored 15 points and Tad Fisher knocked down four three-pointers en route a 14 point outing. Michael Berg fnished with a game-high eight rebounds. Juwan Henry led all scorers with 22 points for the Vikings.

Wheaton will look to push its win streak to eight games on Saturday night when the Thunder travel to Gregory Arena in Napervile, Ill. to face the North Central Cardinals at 7 PM.
