ALLIANCE — Junior Brandon Waugh (Columbus/Northland) and sophomore C.J. Napier (Miamisburg/Bishop Fenwick) each had double-doubles to lead the Ohio Northern men's basketball team in a 94-72 loss at Mount Union in a battle of league unbeatens on Saturday afternoon

The Polar Bears fall to 2-1 overall and 2-1 in the Ohio Athletic Conference, while the Purple Raiders improve to 3-0, 3-0.

Both ONU and MtU were scheduled to play other teams this weekend, but their opponents were forced to cancel their games due to COVID-19 protocol issues, so the two teams agreed to a Saturday afternoon contest on Friday afternoon.
