The Wildcats shot 50 percent from the field in the opening 20 minutes but still trailed 44-37 after the Ravens scorched the nets at a 57 percent rate, including 53 percent from the 3-point stripe.

Unfortunately for the Wildcats, Benedictine remained hot in the second half, shooting 54 percent in the second half to finish at 56 percent for the game. C-SC cooled off to just 40 percent in the second half.

Four Wildcat players scored in double figures with Damar Jenkins leading the way with 18 points.
