Wabash Opens The New Year With Road Loss at Allegheny

Wabash held an early lead in Saturday's North Coast Athletic Conference basketball game at Allegheny but struggled from three-point range in a 76-70 road loss to the Gators.
 
The Little Giants (6-5, 2-2 NCAC) generated 15 points off 15 Allegheny (8-3, 2-2 NCAC) turnovers but could not overcome a 13-percent shooting effort from three-point range. The Little Giants connected on just 3-of-23 attempts from long range, including a 2-of-12 result in the second half.
 
Connor Rotterman provided the early lead for the Little Giants with a driving layup in the second minute of the contest. The host Gators answered with a basket from Jordan Rawls and a free throw by Caden Hinckley ahead of a layup by Jack Davidson for a 4-3 Wabash lead. Allegheny responded with nine consecutive points to move in front 12-4.
 
Wabash drew as close as two points at 18-16 with nine minutes remaining in the first half with a basket and free throw by Kellen Schreiber. The Gators expanded their lead back to double digits at 31-21 with four minutes left in the period and eventually moved in front by 13 points before back-to-back baskets by Alex Eberhard made the score 40-31 at the break.
 
Harrison Hallstrom scored a pair of baskets in the first minute of the second half for a 40-35 deficit for the Little Giants. Hallstrom finished with a game-high 23 points to give him 997 points for his career. He also led Wabash with eight rebounds. Allegheny regained a double-digit lead that Wabash once again cut to five points with 13:09 left to play.
 
The host Gators rallied again on offense to push the lead to 15 points with a 14-4 scoring run to move in front 63-50 with 7:48 remaining in the game. Wabash eventually trailed by 16 points at 66-50 with 6:30 left to play before mounting one final push. Davidson drilled a three-point basket to start a 15-6 scoring for the Little Giants to bring Wabash to within six points at 71-65 with 2:05 left to play. Rawls pushed the advantage to eight points with a pair of free throws. Wabash got a free throw from Davidson and a basket by Hallstrom to make the score 73-68 in the final 13 seconds of the game. Free throws from Allegheny's Brian Roberts, Jr. iced the game for Allegheny.
 
Wabash shot 24-of-62 overall in the game (38.7 percent). Allegheny finished 27-of-66 for 40.9 percent including 12-of-33 from three-point range (36.4 percent). The Gators won the rebounding battle versus Wabash 49-35 including a 15-8 edge on the offensive glass.
 
Davidson and Tyler Watson joined Hallstrom as double-digit scorers for Wabash. Davidson scored 16 points and Watson finished with 13 points.
 
Jordan Greynolds led Allegheny with 21 points. Hinckley added 19 points. Roberts finished with 13 points and Rawls scored 11 for the Gators.
 
Wabash completes its weekend road doubleheader on Sunday with a 2 p.m. conference contest at Hiram College. The Terriers (4-7, 1-3 NCAC) lost to DePauw 75-69 Saturday afternoon.
