GREENVILLE, Pa. – Chace McKinney (Boardman, Ohio/Kennedy Catholic) scored a career-best 21 points as Thiel ran away with a 86-69 Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) victory over visiting Saint Vincent College Saturday afternoon at Beeghly Gymnasium.

McKinney scored his 21 points on 6-of-9 shooting from the floor and a perfect 7-of-7 from the foul line. He added five rebounds and a pair of blocks in the lopsided win. McKinney's previous career high was 14, scored in the Tomcats' 83-59 victory at Waynesburg University on November 30.

AJ Forbes finished with eight points, eight assists, six rebounds, and a pair of blocks.

The Tomcats (6-2, 4-0) shot 55.6 percent (30-54) the floor and converted on a season-high 20-of-21 (95.2%) of their opportunities at the charity stripe while committing a season-low 11 turnovers. Head coach Tim Loomis managed to play all 17 members of the Tomcat program and saw his bench outscore their Bearcat counterparts 34-20 in the win.

Dennis Bassich finished with 16 points, three assists, and two rebounds to lead Saint Vincent (5-3, 1-2). Armani Fountain added 10 points and four rebounds while Tauvon Pettiford chipped in with eight points, four rebounds, and a pair of blocks.

The Bearcats shot 38.7 percent (24-62) from the floor despite turning the ball over just eight times.

The visitors jumped out to an early 9-2 lead and were tied at 18-18 with Thiel with just over nine minutes to go in the first.

The Tomcats rattled off seven-straight points, capped by a Kamran McKaskill three-pointer with 7:08 to go, to assume a 25-18 lead and went into the break leading the Bearcats 40-30.

Thiel stretched its second half lead to as many as 29 before their bench was able to secure the 17-point win.

The Tomcats will host Allegheny College on Tuesday, December 13 at 7 p.m. before beginning their holiday break.
