The Bulldogs traveled to Bluefield College on Saturday for AAC matchup against the Rams.   The Bulldogs sooned learned that with 21 turnovers in the game it would be hard to produce a win.  The  Bulldogs came back from a 33-19 halftime hole by shooting 56 percent from the floor in the second half.  Wesleyan trimmed an 18-point Bluefield advantage to three points on three occasions in the last 1:32, using the full-court press to harass the Rams' attack. 

Borgia M'bala of Bluefield  hit a free throw with six seconds left to break the tension in the Dome after Wesleyan had closed the gap to 72-69.  The final score was 73-69. 
 
Quincy Scates and Matt Towry - who came in making 66 percent of his field-goal tries - led the Wesleyan scoring with 13 points each. Towry was 5-for-8 from the field and added nine rebounds and two blocks.

The Bulldogs will host Reinhardt on Wednesday at 7:30 pm and then wrap up AAC regular season action on Saturday at 4:00 pm against Milligan College.
