Titans Record Double-Digit Win Over Eagles

Sean Dwyer scored a career-high 17 points and Max Schebel added 12 off the bench to lead the UW-Oshkosh men's basketball team to a 74-56 win over Edgewood College on Tuesday (Nov. 18) in Madison.

Dwyer made five 3-point baskets on nine attempts, and Schebel shot 6-for-8 from the floor as the Titans (1-1) received 37 points on 16-of-24 shooting from their reserves. Non-starter Taylor Jansen contributed six points on 3-of-4 shooting, while Nick Olson converted his only shot for two points.

Alex Olson had eight points, a game-high seven rebounds and four assists for UW-Oshkosh. Andre Wallace added eight points and five boards. Kyle Bolger, Jake Laihinen and AJ Mueller rounded out the Titans' starting unit with seven points apiece. Bolger led the Titans with six assists.

Edgewood College's (0-2) only lead of the game lasted for just 15 seconds as a Mueller layup at the 19:16 mark answered the first basket of the game by the Eagles.

A steal by Alex Olson led to a 3-pointer by Laihinen that put UW-Oshkosh up 5-2 with 18:48 left in the first half. The Titans held the lead the rest of the game.

A basket by Alex Olson gave UW-Oshkosh a 30-16 lead with 8:02 remaining in the opening period, but the Eagles responded with a seven-point run to cut their deficit in half. The Titans were held scoreless for more than three minutes until two Mueller free throws and a 3-pointer by Dwyer pushed their lead to 37-23 with 3:03 to play in the first half.

UW-Oshkosh went into halftime with a 44-29 lead and maintained a double-digit advantage for the last 23:55 of the contest. Courtesy of nine straight points, UW-Oshkosh's largest lead was a 74-54 score with 42 seconds remaining.

The Titans ended the game shooting 53.7 percent (29-54) from the field, which is the program's best in 72 games. UW-Oshkosh also shot 47.1 percent (8-17) behind the three-point arc and 88.9 percent (8-9) from the free-throw line.

Edgewood shot 43.1 percent (22-51) from the floor and 83.3 percent (10-12) from the charity stripe. The Eagles converted just 2-of-13 3-point attempts (15.4 percent).

The Eagles, who last season advanced to the final of the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference Tournament, received 10 points each from Tal Diekvoss, Dylan Heemstra and Dylan Rusch.

UW-Oshkosh will host Blackburn College (Ill.) on Friday (Nov. 21) in Kolf Sports Center.
