MARION – Kyle Mangas hit another big shot at another big moment Saturday.

The Wildcats held on for the win when a 3-pointer at the final horn by Bethel’s Ryan Lutz hit off the back of the rim.

Mangas, who is leading the No. 8 ranked Wildcats in scoring, poured in a game-high 25 points Saturday. He hit 9-17 shots from the field, including going 5-9 from distance. He also had three rebounds, six assists and no turnovers in 39 minutes.

IWU hit on 12-28 treys in the win with the dozen threes matching a season high. The Wildcats had an 18-9 edge in points off turnovers and a 10-0 advantage in second-chance points.

Tanner Shepherd, a senior guard for the Pilots, scored six points. The former Triton High School standout also had six assists and three rebounds.

The Pilots have lost four straight games for the first time since February of 2013.

Groninger also had six rebounds and a team-high four assists in 19 minutes of action for IWU.
