Box Score

WEST CHESTER –Joe Bell scored a game and season-high 30 points but West Chester used a 21-7 over the final eight minutes of the game to beat Mansfield 92-79 in a PSAC East game Wednesday night.

Mansfield, which trailed 52-43 at halftime, used a torrid rally midway through the second half to take a 72-71 lead on a jumper by Joe Bell with 8:30 to play.

But the Mountaineers had little energy left and couldn't hold off the Golden Rams down the stretch.

Bell, who scored 20 or more points in four of the last six games, became the first Mountaineer to score 30 or more points since Derrison Anthony scored 32 points against Shippensburg late last season. Cory Henneghan adding 14 points and Chuck Harper 11.

Corey Blake and Jon Breeden led West Chester with 21 points each.

The loss dropped Mansfield to 7-12 overall and 4-11 in PSAC play, putting the Mountaineers to three games behind West Chester (10-9, 7-8 PSAC) for fourth place in the PSAC East.

Mansfield travels to Shippensburg on Saturday.
