Box Score ELKINS, W.Va. - J.C. Faubion came off the bench to lead four players in double figures and the Yellow Jackets decked Davis & Elkins, 69-58, to begin the Great Midwest Athletic Conference schedule.

Faubion finished with a season-high 14 points for Cedarville, 4-10 overall, who notched its biggest victory of the year and the first in seven road games.

A nip-and-tuck first half ended when Jason Cuffee nailed a half-court bomb for a 34-29 advantage. After that, the second period belonged to the Yellow Jackets.

A precarious four-point spread was inflated by a 15-2 CU spurt. The Senators also went nearly nine minutes without a field goal by missing 10 consecutive shots.

Marcus Reineke scored all 13 of his points in the second half. Austin Pickett tallied 13 points and Easton Bazzoli had 12.

Leighton Smith was good for eight points and nine rebounds. Five different Yellow Jackets were credited with two assists each.

Next Up: at Alderson Broaddus on Saturday at 4:15 p.m.

Quotable: Head Coach Pat Estepp

"It's always great to get a conference road win. This was a total team effort.

"We had different guys step up at different points in the game and give us a boost. We had good balance and defensively were as active as we had been all season with 25 deflections and we forced 22 turnovers.

"I was really proud of Easton (Bazzoli). He and his family had the funeral of his grandfather today, he got to the gym about an hour before the game, and then played really well!

"It has been a tough couple weeks for our team, Easton, and my family. My staff did a great job preparing our guys last week while I had to be gone and that showed tonight."
