The Purple Knights are now 12-8 overall and 9-3 in conference play. RWC slips to 5-13 overall and 2-10 in the ECC.
Bridgeport senior Muhammed Ahmed (Bronx, N.Y.) led all scorers in the game with 21 points. He was joined in double-digit scoring by classmates Jesse Jones (Irvington, N.J.) and Devon Elliott (Brooklyn, N.Y.), who each netted 11 points for the winners.
Quinn Casey led four Roberts Wesleyan players in double figures with 14 points.
The UB men’s basketball team will close out its rugged, five-game road trip that will see the team play those five games in eight days on Sunday afternoon with a key East Coast Conference match-up at Daemen College in Amherst, N.Y., just outside of Buffalo.
