Box Score

SHIPPENSBURG - Senior forward Rasheed Moore scored 25 points and redshirt sophomore forward Chris Bing had career-highs with 15 points and 16 rebounds, but Justin McCarthur's game-tying three-pointer sent the game to overtime and No. 8-ranked Shippensburg remained unbeaten with an 86-82 (OT) win over East Stroudsburg University in PSAC East men's basketball on Wednesday night at Heiges Field House.

McCarthur's three with 25 seconds left forced overtime, and he scored seven of Ship's 17 points in the extra session as the Raiders (16-0, 12-0) continued the PSAC's best unbeaten start since ESU went 20-0 to open the 2013-14 PSAC championship season. Ship is one of six unbeaten teams left in NCAA Division II.

Moore had his seventh 20-point game in his last 11 and the 15th of his career, moving into sixth at ESU with 1,450 career points and passing Russ Hopewell (1,446 - 1958-62). He teamed with Bing for 40 points in a match-up of two of the top frontcourts in the PSAC.

The Warriors held a 37-36 halftime advantage after scoring the final seven points of the half, capped by a three by sophomore guard Nick Giordano, as Ship trailed at intermission for just the third time this season.
