The Cardinals, who shared the Little Three title with Amherst a year ago, won it outright for the first time since the 1990-91 season and the 15th time overall. Wesleyan snapped Amherst's 32-game home winning streak, and handed the Purple & White just its sixth home loss in the past seven seasons (100-6 record since 2010-11). Additionally, the Cardinals have now won four of the past five meetings against their arch rival, and defeated Amherst earlier in the season at home, 73-59 to sweep Amherst for the first time since the '90-91 season.

The win was Wesleyan's third against a top-10 team this year.

"I'm very proud of our effort on the road, it was a big response after a very tough two point loss to Williams last weekend," said head coach Joe Reilly. "This was our 10th road game in the past 14 games and our guys have learned to find ways to win when faced with adversity. It was a great win for our program - an outright Little Three Championship was one of our main goals at the start of the season."

The "Little Three" schools - Wesleyan, Amherst and Williams, first formally banded together in 1899 as the Triangular League and since 1910, the teams (once referred to as "The Triumvirate") have continued to play. The Little Three is believed to be America's oldest, continuous intercollegiate athletic conference without a membership change.
