FAIRBORN, Ohio — *EDITOR'S NOTE: The above video is from last spring.
Torrey Patton had a season-high 25 points as Cleveland State edged Wright State 71-67 Friday night.
The senior who grew up in the Dayton area helped CSU (14-4, 10-1 Horizon League) overcome a second-half deficit and maintain control of first place in the conference. D'Moi Hodge had 13 points for Vikings and Tre Gomillion added 12 points.
Tanner Holden had 24 points and eight rebounds for third-place WSU (11-10, 8-4), which lost its second straight. The Raiders led by as many as four in the second half and came back from nine points down to tie the game with 2:11 to play, but clutch baskets by Patton and Hodge helped the Vikes pull away.
With four straight wins under its belt and eight in its last nine games, Cleveland State will stay on the road to face Northern Kentucky Sunday afternoon.
