02.02.10 - Playing at Indiana Wesleyan's Luckey Arena hasn't been too lucky for visiting teams this year as the Foresters (15-10, 4-7) learned firsthand.  The #5 Wildcats (21-4, 9-2) dominated HU with a 74-60 win. 

Caleb Kennedy got things starters for the Foresters by scoring eight of HU's first 14 points as the first seven minutes saw the visiting team up 14-7.  But then things went south for the Foresters as the Wildcats reeled off 20 points while holding Huntington scoreless over the next ten minutes.  Alex Nafziger finally broke HU's scoring drought at the 3:00 mark for a 27-16 score.  As the half came to a close, the Wildcats remained in command with a 35-21 lead.

Indiana Wesleyan started the second half with a three by Ryan Hetrick to give them their largest lead of the contest at 38-21.  HU kept things interesting midway through the second half when they went on a 9-0 run in a two minute span to cut the deficit to 46-38.  The Foresters whittled it down to a five-point difference, 53-48, on a bucket by Kellen Zawadzki at the 9:17 mark but it would be as close as HU would get.  The Wildcats scored on back-to-back possessions to push their lead back to nine and cruise to the 74-60 victory.

Kennedy and Zawadzki each had 15 points to lead the Foresters while Tyler Shively chipped in 13.  Zach Coverstone led the Wildcats with 20 points and 11 rebounds.  Joining him in double digits were Hetrick with 14, Derrick Troyer with 12 and Will Hubertz with 10.
