Philadelphia Biblical University 69, Delaware Valley 59

DOYLESTOWN (PA) -- Delaware Valley College sophomore forward Kevin Wright scored 24 points and grabbed nine rebounds, but it wasn't enough as Philadelphia Biblical University scored the final 10 points of the game and defeated the Aggies, 69-59, in a non-conference game.

Wright was 10-for-15 from the field and 4-for-6 from the foul line as he missed matching his career high in points by just one (25 points versus FDU-Florham last season). Seven of his nine boards were on the offensive end in 28 minutes of action.

Wright's layup with 5:54 remaining tied the game at 55-55. The two squad traded baskets on a pair of occasions for a 59-59 score with 3:24 to go. However, the Crimson Eagles (1-2) ended the game with a 10-0 run, including three each by Jeremy Coleman and Flor Colon.

Delaware Valley (0-3) held a 34-29 lead at halftime and upped the lead to 42-30 early in the second half as Wright scored four of the eight points. Philadelphia Biblical got back in the contest by scoring nine straight. Neither team led by more than five points until the Crimson Eagles went on their late run.

Rich Schmidt recorded nine points and six rebounds for the Aggies. Dante Johnson added eight points in the loss.

Coleman registered game-highs of 26 points and 14 boards for the Crimson Eagles. Benji Campbell and Dave Booher added 12 and 11 points respectively.
