Dylan O’Hara came back to haunt his former team.

O’Hara, a senior guard for Westminster who played one season at Waynesburg before transferring to the Titans, scored a career-high 35 points Monday evening and Westminster shook off Waynesburg late for an 85-74 victory in a Presidents’ Athletic Conference game at Rudy Marisa Fieldhouse.

O’Hara made 9 of 18 shots from the field, including 6 of 12 three-pointers, and converted 11 of 12 free throws. He helped Westminster improve to 2-1 in the conference and 7-3 overall.

Waynesburg remains winless at 0-2, 0-8.

Westminster led by only 35-33 at halftime and didn’t take the lead for good until 14:23 was left in the game.

Isaiah Alonzo paced Waynesburg with 26 points. Frank Bozicevic followed with 21 points and Brennan Smith had 16 points and a game-high eight rebounds.

Waynesburg’s Matt Popeck, the Yellow Jackets’ leading scorer last season, missed his sixth consecutive game for undisclosed reasons.

The Yellow Jackets’ undoing was 20 turnovers that led to 22 points for Westminster. The Titans’ bench outscored Waynesburg’s reserves 36-2.
