Wright State routs Oakland for third straight win

Wright State sophomore Parker Ernsthausen came off the bench to score a career-high 24 points Sunday as the Raiders routed Oakland 88-67.

It was the third win a row for the Raiders (14-7, 4-3 Horizon League) as they avenged an 81-62 loss to the Grizzlies (15-6, 5-3) in December in the conference opener.

Called on early after Steven Davis picked up his second foul less than three minutes into the game, Ernsthausen equaled his previous high of 10 points by halftime and finished 8 of 10 from the floor and 8 of 9 from the free throw line.

Senior guard Mark Alstork also score 24, while Davis added 17. Davis hit all three of his 3-point attempts to tie his career high. The Raiders were 11 of 25 from beyond the arc, while Oakland was just 5 of 20.

Junior guard Justin Mitchell added a career-high x rebounds as the Raiders dominated the Grizzlies on the glass, 44 to 30.

Wright State returns to action Friday on the road at first-place Valparaiso.
