It took a streaking 3-point shooting second half by Culver-Stockton College on Thursday night to force overtime with Benedictine inside the Ralph Nolan Gymnasium.
In the end, Culver-Stockton (13-3, 4-0 HAAC) outscored Benedictine (9-5; 1-2 HAAC) 11-7 in overtime to earn a 85-81 win.
Benedictine limited one of the NAIA’s top 3-point shooting teams to just three 3-pointers in the first half as the Ravens held a 31-29 lead over the Wildcats.
In the second half, Benedictine built as much as a 11 point lead before Culver-Stockton took fire from beyond the arc.
The Wildcats converted on six 3-pointers in the second half and two more in overtime to pull away from the Ravens.
Benedictine forward Charlie Wallrapp and Culver-Stockton guard Austin Keaton finished with a game-high 23 points.
The Ravens hit the road on Saturday for a 4 p.m. showdown in Olathe against NAIA Div. I No. 13 MNU inside the Cook Center on the MNU campus.
