Abram Ross's baseline drive with 5.2 seconds remaining lifted the Chaparrals past visiting Madison College 55-54 in N4C men's basketball Saturday.
 
The victory was COD's second straight as the Chaps' swept the season series over the WolfPack by a cumulative two points. Last month, the Chaps hung on for an 80-79 win in Madison.
 
Madison put itself in control in the second half, thanks to its 12-0 run with 11:46 to go and led 43-36.
 
But the WolfPack couldn't put the game away and that allowed the Chaps to stay close. Trailing 47-45 with 7:48 to go, the Chaps earned momentum on a quick 6-0 spurt and stayed out front until the closing 90 seconds.
 
Shamar Newman put Madison ahead 54-53 with 22 seconds left and the Chaps played for the final shot.
 
Ross received the ball on the right baseline infront of the Chaps' bench. He drove to the paint and lofted a shot that found its way through the net for the lead.
 
Madison's Davion Washington's desperation 3-pointer was off and the Chaps had their victory.
 
Latron Kirkwood led the Chaps with 16 points and Evan Wagner-Talley had 12 points with a team-high nine rebounds. Ross scored 11 and Joe Bell had 10.
 
The Chaps have won two straight and take a 5-7 N4C record into Wednesday night's game at Joliet.
 
Newman led Madison with 17 points.
