ASHLAND, Ohio - Wayne State held Ashland to just a pair of free throws in the final 3:11, and the Eagles missed two three-point attempts in the last 10 seconds, as WSU held on for a 59-56 win at Kates Gymnasium and earned a season sweep of AU. Wayne State also out-rebounded Ashland by nine to hold the Eagles to their second-lowest output of the season.
The Warriors (9-11, 4-8 GLIAC) trailed 11-9 before Will Pierce (Detroit, Mich.) hit a three and Herb Goliday (Royal Oak Twp., Mich.) scored on a layup with 10:23 to play in the first half. Just over a minute later, Kris Krzyminski's (Flint, Mich.) three-point play put WSU up 19-13.
The Eagles (16-7, 8-5 GLIAC) got within three points with just five minutes left, but WSU outscored Ashland 10-6 the rest of the half, including another Krzyminski three-point play to lead 33-26 at the break.
Goliday made a layup six and a half minutes into the second half to give Wayne State its largest lead of the game at 45-34.
Ashland went on an 11-2 run to tie the game with 5:26 left, but Krzyminski's jumper on WSU's next possession gave the Warriors the lead for good.
Krzyminski's 19 points led all players. Goliday was the only other Warrior in double digits with 10, giving him 19 double-digit games this season.
WSU returns to Detroit to host Mercyhurst in a Feb. 9 match-up.
