CALIFORNIA, Pa. – Mike Wilson (Philadelphia, Pa./Martin Luther King) posted 15 points off the bench to spark No. 22 West Chester to an 81-67 victory over host California (Pa.) in a PSAC men's basketball contest inside the Convocation Center Wednesday evening.
 
West Chester (12-1, 8-1 PSAC) remains atop the PSAC East standings with the best record in the conference while Cal (5-9, 3-6) dropped its second straight game and fourth in its last five.
