BEREA, Ohio --  Sophomore All-Ohio Athletic Conference guard Cam Kuhn (Vermilion) and freshman guard Jay Battle (Gahanna/ Lincoln) each scored 15 points, but the Baldwin Wallace University men's basketball team lost to No. 10-nationally Marietta College, 90-70, in an Ohio Athletic Conference game on Suits & Sneakers for Cancer Day in the Rudolph Ursprung Gymnasium inside the Lou Higgins Center.

In addition to Kuhn and Battle for BW (10-9, 5-7 OAC), senior Academic All-OAC guard Zach Warner (Clyde) had 13 points. Marietta (17-2, 11-1 OAC) was led sophomore guard Dillon Young with a game-high 18 points and junior forward A.J. Edwards had 17 points and grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds.

In the first half, BW opened the game with a three-pointer by Battle at 19:28, but the Pioneers ran off 16 straight points, including three triples by Young to lead 16-3 at 16:10. Twice the Yellow Jackets cut the deficit to eight, with the last at 23-15 at 12:22, but Marietta outscored BW 7-0 to build a 30-15 advantage at 10:51.
