Ohio earned a season series sweep of Marshall with a 70-65 win over the Herd Saturday afternoon at the Convocation Center.

It was only appropriate that on Senior Day Brandon Hunter would collect 16 rebounds to set the Ohio career record with 1,054. He also led the Bobcats (11-14 Overall, 7-9 MAC) in scoring with 20 points giving him his 20th double-double of the season. Fellow senior Steve Esterkamp scored 19 and freshman Jeff Halbert finished with a career-high 17.

The win gives Ohio its first winning streak of the season. For the visiting Herd (12-13, 8-8), Ronald Blackshear led the way with 21 points. Marvin Black had a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds.
