No. 25 Bowdoin defeated Wesleyan 65-45.

Courtney Euerle hit a jumper with seven seconds left and Maggie Weiers was unable to answer as homestanding St. Mary's (Minn.) knocked off No. 9 St. Thomas 56-54.

Hope defeated Calvin 71-63 to improve its record at VanNoord Arena to 6-3. The Knights struggled against the Flying Dutch's length and missed several shots near the rim in the second half, allowing Hope to pull away for a relatively comfortable victory.

A battle of Capital Athletic Conference newcomers had a surprise outcome, as No. 14 Christopher Newport lost 63-60 in overtime at Penn State-Harrisburg. Tra Benefield was held to 14 points in 43 minutes, while the Lions improved to 6-7 despite shooting 5-for-23 from 3-point range and 14-for-26 from the line. (CNU was just 6-for-13 from the line.) In the other CAC Top 25 matchup, Wesley's AJ Tilghman hit a free throw with 1.2 seconds remaining to give the 16th-ranked Wolverines a 68-67 win over No. 17 Mary Washington.

Freshman guard Erick Loften-Harris hit a floater in the lane from the left side with 15 seconds lifting Montclair State to a 70-69 upset of No. 23 Richard Stockton. The win snaps the Ospreys' six-game winning streak. Montclair improves to 6-7 overall. William Paterson, which handed Richard Stockton its previous loss, fended off a late New Jersey City rally for a 69-66 NJAC win. Javae King-Gilchrist led all players with 22 points and six steals, and junior guard Sandy Burgos posted 19 points.

Wheaton (Ill.), which dropped out of the Top 25 this past week, made a case to be included anew by edging No. 12 Augustana 69-66 in overtime. The homestanding Thunder played just seven guys and got just four points from their bench. Peter Smither, Brayden Teuscher and Tyler Peters scored 16 points apiece.

Andy Dollman poured in a career-high 24 points off the bench to lead No. 19-ranked Marietta to a 97-86 win over Baldwin Wallace. The Yellow Jackets shot just 30% from the floor, including 1-of-13 from behind the arc, in the second half.

No. 20 Messiah went on a 15-0 run in the second half and Brad Bolen scored 23 points to lead the Falcons past Alvernia 89-78. The run broke open a 56-56 tie. No. 9 Wittenberg overcame five Hiram scorers in double figures, barely defeating the 3-12 Terriers 80-79 despite the homecourt advantage. Dave Macedo won his 300th career game, all with Virginia Wesleyan, as the No. 15 Marlins defeated Randolph 75-46. VWC held Randolph to just 15 first-half points in the win.

A wild game came to a thrilling conclusion for Goucher, as Troy DeShields converted a 3-point play with 4.4 seconds remaining in triple overtime to give the Gophers a 91-90 win over Moravian. Dubuque rallied from a nine-point halftime deficit to remain undefeated, topping Central 74-67. "We were right there," Central coach Craig Douma said. "We put ourselves in a position to win, but we need to turn the corner. It came down to making shots and Dubuque made more." Dubuque forward Gage Heffernan scored a game-high 22 points and hauled in eight rebounds.

Kalamazoo shot 26-for-27 from the foul line in a 90-83 win at Olivet. Hilbert improved to 9-2, 4-1 in the AMCC with a 97-84 win vs. Mount Aloysius.
