CANTON, Ohio – It took a record night for Malone University to take down the Kentucky Wesleyan College men's basketball team. Malone set a school record for three-point shots made in a game with Justin Miller hitting nine from the perimeter to upend the Panthers 104-71. The loss snaps Wesleyan's five game winning-streak. 
 
Ironically, the Pioneers (6-2, 3-1 GMAC) made two three-point baskets a week ago against Walsh, but on Thursday night they converted on 21 from beyond the arc. The hot shooting form Malone started from the opening tip. The Panthers (5-4, 2-1 GMAC) trailed 28-12 after 10 minutes. 
 
The Pioneers shot 56% in the first half, including 11 of 20 from the arc and built a 55-28 lead. The Panthers were led by Antonio Thomas who recorded seven points in the first 20 minutes. Wesleyan shot 30% in the opening period, but picked-up the pace in the second half. Unfortunately the Panthers were unable to do much damage as they traded three-point buckets with the Pioneers.
 
Jordan Roland hit back-to-back threes, but those were negated by pair from Malone as the deficit sat at 23 points (69-46) with less than 14 minutes left in the game. The Panthers would get no closer than 20 points the rest of the game. 
 
Wesleyan shot 47% in the second half while Roland recorded 12 of his 14 points in the second half. Thomas added 12 points and four rebounds. JoMel Boyd finsihed with 11 points. 
 
The Panthers will travel to Ashland on Saturday for a match-up with the Eagles. Tip-off is scheduled for 2 PM CT.
