GAMBIER, Ohio – Jordan Herron and Travell Oakes produced double-doubles and Robert Ryan scored in double figures for the second time this season as Albion College gained a 74-58 victory over Kenyon College in non-league men's basketball action.

"This was a great team win," Albion Head Coach Jody May said. "You never know what you are going to get in the first game after final exams. I didn't expect us to beat Kenyon by 16 points."

Albion surged to the victory by outscoring Kenyon, 35-19, over the final 14:15.

"We forced some tough shots by getting in the right spots defensively," May said. "Our defense led to good offense."

The score was tied at 39 when Albion went on an 8-0 spurt. Lucas Marble knocked down a three-point basket as Albion seized the lead for good. Oakes followed with a jumper and Ryan tacked on an old-fashioned three-point play.

Oakes and De'Tavia Moore contributed three points apiece during another 6-0 run as Albion built its first double-digit lead, 53-41, midway through the second half. Albion maintained the double-digit lead the rest of the way.

Briton Notes

Herron finished with 17 points, two shy of his season high. He matched his season-high in rebounds with 11. It was Herron's first double-double of the season and the eighth of his collegiate career.
