Men’s Game
Central Methodist Univ. 53, Benedictine 51

ATCHISON, Kan. – Twice this semester, the Benedictine men’s basketball team has used a last-second shot to propell themselves past an opponent inside the Ralph Nolan Gymnasium. On Saturday afternoon, Central Methodist’s Melvin Tillman knocked in the go-ahead jumper with three seconds left in the game to give CMU the 53-51 win over Benedictine.

Benedictine (14-12, 9-6 HAAC) would have moved within a half of a game over Baker University in the HAAC standings with a win on Saturday after Baker fell to Graceland University. The win by CMU (13-13, 7-9 HAAC) keeps Benedictine a game and half back of Baker in fourth place in the HAAC standings.

The Ravens play two of the next three at home, starting with a 7:30 p.m. game against Missouri Valley College on Monday night.
