Bobcats come back to beat California with late 3-pointers

BUCKHANNON — Reserve guard Chris Dewberry drained back-to-back 3-pointers in the final minute to help the West Virginia Wesleyan Bobcats complete a second-half comeback Saturday in a 67-66 win over the California (Pa.) Vulcans.

Dewberry joined three other Wesleyan players in double figures, as the Bobcats evened their season record at 2-2 overall. T.J. Thompson scored a game-high 16 points, Noah Cottrill followed with 15 and Kelsey Williams and Dewberry each tallied 11.

California led by eight at halftime, at 36-28, but Cottrill scored nine of his 15 points on a 13-4 Wesleyan run that cut the deficit to 53-52. Wesleyan finally tied the game at 61-61 on a pair of made free throws by Thompson with 2:33 remaining, but Quentin Harding knocked down a 3-pointer with 1:35 left to put California back in the lead, at 64-61.
