01-09-10 — Wabash 70, Hiram 61
Aaron Brock had a huge night for Wabash in its win over NCAC foe Hiram, leading all scorers with 22 points — including all eight of his free throw attempts. The senior led the short-handed Little Giants by scoring the first 14 points of the night for the team, which was without Nick Curosh and Derek Bailey in the first half.
After his teammate Aaron Brock scored the first 14 points for Wabash, Wes Smith stepped up with big inside play and helped the Little Giants overcome a slow start to take a 35-29 halftime lead. Smith finished with 21 points and eight boards, and broke the all-time steals record with two steals to give him 145 in his career.
The box score doesn't in any way indicate the important role Aaron Zinnerman played for Wabash in its nine-point win over Hiram. While he hit just one basket, his three-pointer from the home team baseline gave Wabash a boost, and his solid bench play over 18 minutes was key for the short-handed Little Giants.
