The victory was the first by Wabash against Wooster since joining the NCAC in 1999. The Little Giants handed the Scots their first regular season conference loss to a team other than Wittenberg since Denison defeated Wooster 63-62 in overtime on February 1, 1997.

Junior guard Brady Claxton (Shelbyville, IN/Shelbyville) led the scoring attack for Wabash, finishing with 24 points. Junior forward Joe DesJean (Indianapolis, IN/Perry Meridian) added 18.
The victory allows Wabash to hold on to third place in the NCAC standings (12-10, 9-5 NCAC). The Little Giants will travel to fourth-place Ohio Wesleyan on Wednesday for a 7:30 p.m. conference matchup.
