Junior Jayson Clark (Austin, Texas) was also in double-figures with 10 points and he and Kevin Conner (Mansfield, Mass.) co-led the team with four dimes apiece.
The Wildcats offense came from Derek Fournier (Johnston, R.I.), who scored 25 points and Anthony Williams (White Plains, N.Y.), who just missed a double-double with 21 points and nine rebounds.
Nicholas Fenton (East Hartford, Conn.) also just missed a double-double with 19 points to go with a game-high 9 assists and six rebounds, while Devin Brown (Chicago, Ill.) contributed 12 points off the bench for Wheelock, who shot 45.3% from the field to Mount Ida's 48.7%.
The Mustangs took a 47-35 lead into the break and the teams played an even second half, with each side scoring 53 points in the final twenty minutes.
Each team is now 3-4 after today's contest. The Wildcats will look to get back on track when they host Dean College on Tuesday at 8:30 PM.
The Mustangs will finally get to come home for their home opener next Thursday night when they host Lesley at 7:00 pm, part of a doubleheader at Mount Ida Athletic Center.
