Lewis Men's Basketball Spreads Wealth In 69-57 Regional Win Over Wayne State

Six Flyers score at least eight points, led by team-high 14 points from Blaylock.

Romeoville, Ill. - Six different Flyers scored at least eight points, as the Lewis University men's basketball team turned in an all-around effort in the 69-57 regional victory over Wayne State at Neil Carey Arena on Saturday (Nov. 25).

Lewis junior swingman Delaney Blaylock (Wyoming, Mich./Godwin Heights) posted a team-best 14 points and seven rebounds, while freshman guard Josh Niego (Chicago, Ill./Brother Rice), redshirt sophomore guard Jake Reinhart (Bloomington, Ill./Central Catholic), junior center Frank Vukaj (Davison, Mich./Davison) and sophomore forward Donovan Oliver (Kewanee, Ill./Kewanee) each chipped in nine points in the victory.

With the win, Lewis improves to 2-4 on the campaign, while the visiting Warriors drop to 1-3 on the campaign.

Lewis, led by a game-high eight rebounds from senior forward Cristen Wilson (Cleveland, Ohio/John Hay), outrebounded Wayne State, 39-24 and the Flyer reserves outscored the Warrior bench, 31-7.

The Flyers shot 47.8% (22-for-46) from the field and 33.3% (4-for-12) from three-point range, while Wayne State knocked down 37.0% (20-for-54) of its shots and 40.0% (6-for-15) of its long-range attempts.

Wayne State guard Ronald Booth posted a game-high 18 points on 6-for-19 shooting, including two three-pointers, for the Warriors.

Lewis returns to action on Thursday (Nov. 30), as the Flyers open Great Lakes Valley Conference action against Southern Indiana. Tip-off is set for 7:30 PM.
