Ferris senior for­ward Lou Williams paced the Bulldogs with 16 points on 7 of 8 shoot­ing from the field. FSU senior cen­ter Justin Keenan recorded a game-high 14 rebounds and senior guard Darien Gay added 14 points in the victory.

The Bulldogs’ first vic­tory of the week­end road trip came in the form of a 77–64 win over the Lake Erie Storm on Thursday. Ferris shot 53 per­cent from the three-point line and made 24 free throws in the vic­tory. The Bulldogs improved their road record to 7–4 this season.
