Jacob Drees | Cedarville University
Jacob Drees racked up his first career triple-double to guide the Yellow Jackets to a 85-72 G-MAC victory over Findlay at the Callan Athletic Center.
Drees was good for 20 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists for Cedarville, 11-4 overall and 4-3 G-MAC.
Jayvon Maughmer added 21 points and Chris Rogers netted 15 - all in the second half.
Findlay reversed a 12-point first half deficit into a 62-62 deadlock midway through the second period.
However, Rogers sparked a ten-point run with back-to-back three-pointers followed by a pair of layups by Tytist Dean.
The Oilers got no closer than seven points the rest of the way.
