TULSA—Four players scored in double figures to help Oral Roberts University remain perfect in Summit League play with a 76-55 win over Western Illinois, Saturday at Mabee Center.

ORU (12-5, 7-0 Summit) picked up its 22nd consecutive home conference win, and also won for the 28th time in 30 games against league foes.

The Golden Eagles led wire-to-wire in capturing their fifth straight win. ORU raced to a 13-4 lead and led by as many as 14 points in the first half before settling for a 35-22 halftime lead.

Western Illinois (8-10, 3-4) never got closer than 12 points in the second half, but ORU had some trouble gaining a more significant advantage until midway through the half.

The Golden Eagles used an 8-0 run to turn a 51-35 lead into a 59-35 advantage on a layup by Marcus Lewis (Long Beach, Calif.) with 9:04 left. The lead never dipped below 20 points the rest of the way.

Lewis and Moses Ehambe (Arlington, Texas) led ORU with 13 points each. Ehambe, who entered the game mired in a 5-for-25 (.200) shooting slump, went 5-for-10 from the field, including 3-of-8 from 3-point range for his first double-figure scoring effort in nearly a month. Lewis was a perfect 6-for-6 from the field, and added seven rebounds.

Robert Jarvis (Humble, Texas) scored 12 points off the bench, and Shawn King (Bequia, St. Vincent) chipped in 11 points, four rebounds and four blocks.

Western's Jerryck Owen-Murrey and David Jackson each scored 15 points, with Owens-Murrey adding 10 rebounds.

ORU limited the Leathernecks to 32.7 percent shooting for the game, including just 2-for-11 from 3-point range. The Golden Eagles shot 52.7 percent (29-55) from the field, including 7-fo-21 from long range.

By holding Western to 55 points, ORU limited its eighth opponent to 60 or fewer points.

The Golden Eagles return to action when they visit UMKC, 7 p.m., Thursday at Kemper Arena in Kansas City.
