MACOMB, Ill. (AP) -- Cortney Scott had 17 points and five rebounds as Oakland beat Western Illinois 72-67 on Saturday.

Oakland led the Leathernecks (7-13, 3-6 Mid-Con) 41-27 at halftime, but had to hold off a ferocious comeback that cut their lead down to one point twice in the final minute and a half of play.
T.J. Gray led the Leathernecks with 12 points. Will Lewis added 11 points and Nathan Koster had 10.
