The Lancaster Bible men's basketball team needed five extra minutes, but the Chargers pushed their winning streak to 15 games on Friday night with a 101-93 overtime victory over upstart Wilson in Chambersburg, Pa. 

After seeing a 15-point first half lead disappear, the Chargers and Phoenix went back-and-forth late in the second half and when that wasn't enough, the two teams slugged it out in overtime with the Chargers coming out victorious. Lancaster Bible junior CJ Dunston scored the Chargers first seven points of the overtime period en route to a team-high 25 points as he was 11-of-12 from the floor and grabbed nine rebounds. Eleven of Dunston's 25 points came in overtime as he and the rest of the Chargers scored 21 points in the five-minute overtime period.

"We weren't very good tonight for long stretches and we struggled defensively, but we made enough plays at the end to win," Lancaster Bible Head Coach Marshall Tague said.

Though the defense may have been lacking, Lancaster Bible's offense was running on all cylinders as the Chargers shot an incredible 68.9 percent (42-of-61) from the floor. In addition to Dunston's 11-of-12 night from the field, fellow junior Dondre Perry was 10-of-12 en route to 22 points, while senior Albert Suniga was 6-of-10 as he poured in 16 points to go with seven rebounds and six assists.

Broken down, Lancaster Bible shot 63.3 percent (19-of-30) in the first half, 70.8 percent (17-of-24) in the second half and 85.7 percent (6-of-7) in overtime. The 68.9 percent shooting percentage is the sixth highest mark this season in NCAA Division III.

Senior Corey Leonard was 5-of-5 from the floor for 11 points, while Luke Roundy was 2-of-3 (four points) and Jordan Mellinger was 4-of-8 (11 points).

Wilson was led by Marqwon Wynn who had a game-high 27 points for the Phoenix who fell to 3-13 overall and 2-10 in NEAC play.

Lancaster Bible meanwhile improves to 15-1 overall and 9-0 in NEAC play. 

Saturday looms as one of Lancaster Bible's biggest games of the season thus far as the Chargers take on Gallaudet who currently sits at 7-3 in NEAC South Division, right below the Chargers. The Bison defeated the Chargers last season in Washington, D.C., 73-59 and Gallaudet more than likely needs to win Saturday's game to have a shot at winning the NEAC South Division championship.

"We have to turn it around from tonight for a big game on Saturday," Tague said. 

Saturday's game is scheduled to tip-off at 3 p.m. in the Nation's Capital.
