Kenny Klase scored a game-high 21 points, including 10-for-10 at the free-throw line, to lead Waynesburg University to an 83-63 non-conference victory over Pitt-Greensburg Monday night at Rudy Marisa Fieldhouse.
Waynesburg (3-5) broke open a close game in the second half. The Yellow Jackets led by only 35-31 at halftime, then made six of their 10 three-point field goals in the second half and made 22 of 29 free throws.
B.J., Duham, Jason Propst and D.J. Ritchie each contributed 10 points for Waynesburg.

A free throw by Klase gave Waynesburg the lead for good at 57-56 with 5:19 remaining and sparked the Yellow Jackets on a 19-4 run.
