BALTIMORE (AP) - Tanner Plomb scored 22 points and grabbed eight rebounds to help lead Army to a 73-59 victory over Loyola (Md) on Saturday.

Kyle Wilson finished with 15 points and Kevin Ferguson added 12 points and six rebounds for the Black Knights (11-5, 2-2 Patriot League), who held Loyola to 38.6 percent shooting and just 2 of 15 from 3-point range.

Army outscored Loyola 22-8 over final 10 minutes of the first half to take a 36-25 lead into the locker room.

Plomb hit a 3-pointer, Wilson made a layup, and Ferguson buried a jumper midway through the second period which gave Army a 55-38 lead, its largest of the night.

Andre Walker hit a pair of free throws for Loyola (4-11, 3-1) to cut the lead to 61-54 with 2:30 to go, but that was as close as the Greyhounds got.

Walker had 17 points for Loyola.
