George Bugarinovic scored 14 points and had 10 rebounds, while Ryan Curran added 13 and Gene Williams scored 12 points off the bench as Johns Hopkins improved to 12-2 by defeating No. 4 Dickinson 67-54 in Baltimore.
The Blue Jays opened the game on a 10-2 run before Dickinson responded, taking a 19-16 lead midway through the first half thanks to a Gerry Wixted 3-pointer. Gene Williams hit a 3 for JHU a few minutes later, however, and the Blue Jays led the rest of the way.
Danielius Jurgutis scored 18 points as No. 1 Augustana shot 50 percent from the floor to win 75-64 in front of 1,600 fans at No. 9 North Central (Ill.). The Vikings held Jack Burchett scoreless and kept Charlie Rosenberg to nine points.
No. 11 Richard Stockton survived putting a team at the foul line in the final second for at least the second time this season, as the Ospreys won 59-57 at Montclair State.
Jerome Hilton got off a 3-point attempt for Montclair with 0.9 seconds left but was fouled putting him at the line with a chance to tie the game. But Hilton missed the first attempt. He made the second and then intentionally missed the third, but Josh Blamon (22 points, 13 rebounds) got the rebound.
No. 2 UW-Whitewater survived a road battle at UW-Eau Claire as Quardell Young tallied nine of his team-high 15 points in the final 3:01 of the contest, giving the Warhawks the lead for good with just 1.5 seconds on the clock on a driving layup.
No. 13 WPI beat No. 15 Babson 67-57 to snap the Beavers' 11-game winning streak and start one of their own. The Engineers improved to 12-2, 2-1 in the NEWMAC, with the road games against MIT and Babson behind them. Wabash improved to 10-4, 5-2 in the NCAC and overcame a 26-point night from Nate Axelrod in defeating No. 17 Ohio Wesleyan 75-70. Kyle Aiton led the Little Giants with 18 points.
No. 7 Marietta rolled up a big win over Capital in front of a big crowd, defating the Crusaders 80-56. Garrett Stephenson led four Pioneers starters in double figures with 14 points.
No. 16 Randolph-Macon went on the road and handled archrival Hampden-Sydney, 77-55. Mike Silverthorn scored 17 points in his first collegiate start, including five three-pointers. The Yellow Jackets (12-2, 5-0 ODAC) remain alone in first in the conference, one game in front of No. 8 Virginia Wesleyan, which beat Shenandoah, 76-68. Eastern Mennonite had a late 10-0 run to take a 68-58 lead and went on to defeat local rival Bridgewater 77-67.
Elmhurst lost a home game for the first time this season as Brad Kruse hit a driving layup with 3.2 seconds left to lift Carthage past the No. 22 Bluejays 70-68.
Aaron Walton-Moss recorded his third triple-double of the season, and Cabrini needed all of it as the Cavaliers won 86-82 at Marywood to improve to 8-6, 5-2 CSAC. Walton-Moss had 25 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists in the win. He was 15-for-15 from the foul line and played all 40 minutes for a Cabrini team which played just seven players.
William Paterson won its seventh game in a row, overcoming 33 points and eight rebounds from Ike Robinson to defeat Rowan 86-85. The Pioneers took the lead for good with 2:10 left in the game. Marymount held off Salisbury down the stretch, defeating the Sea Gulls 60-56 on the road to improve to 12-2, 6-1 in the CAC. Brock Benson shot 8-for-11 from the floor en route to 21 points as Hope picked up its first MIAA win of the season, defeating Albion 80-55.
Wittenberg defeated DePauw 65-56 in overtime, improving to just 4-10 overall. Wittenberg hasn't had a losing record since 1956, but needs to go on a big streak the rest of the way to avoid ending that run.
