Akron utilized a career night from Olojakpoke to defeat the Mastodons for their fourth consecutive home win to begin the season.
After trailing early and fending off multiple challenges from Fort Wayne, Emmanuel Olojakpoke and the Akron Zips held on for an 83-79 victory on Wednesday at James A. Rhodes Arena. The sophomore forward posted a career-high 24 points, as well as seven rebounds and four blocks to help lead the Zips.
Behind Olojakpoke, Akron had a very balanced offensive attack with five other players scoring at least eight points.
