MOUNT OLIVE -- John Wieland tied a school record with nine 3-pointers and Dory Hines matched his single-game assist mark with 16 during the University of Mount Olive's 100-90 victory over in-state Conference Carolinas foe Lees-McRae on Wednesday evening.

Wieland finished with a game-high 27 points for the Trojans, who rose to 10-7 overall and 4-3 against league opposition this season. The sophomore from Pittsboro shot 9 of 12 from 3-point range, including 5 of 5 in the second half.
