John Carroll rallied both at the end of regulation and the first overtime to
keep the game going. Capital had held the Blue Streaks scoreless for
the final 2:27 of regulation before Chris Day hit a three-pointer with three

with 2.5 seconds remaining in the first overtime when Demetrius Travis hit a
layup to make it 65-65.
In the second overtime, Stolly scored seven of his 11 points including his
three-pointer that broke a 77-77 tie and turned out to be the game-winner.
The first half featured nine
lead changes and seven ties before John Carroll went on a 10-4 run to end
the period and take a 33-30 lead into the lockers. Capital opened the
second half on a 13-4 burst to lead 43-37 with 15:22 left in regulation.
The Crusaders would extend that lead to as many as nine, 53-44, at the 7:54
mark.
Justin Ragor hit five three-pointers and scored a game-high 22 points to
lead four John Carroll players in double figures.
Capital had five players in double figures led by 21 from Steve Kyser
(Sylvania/Southview) and 15 from Jake Meisler (Castalia/Margaretta).
Capital returns home Saturday at 3 p.m. to take on Mount Union College in an
OAC game.
