Neither team could score, for the next two minutes, until the Raiders would go ahead with two free-throws and then push the lead to three at 16-13.
Khaalis Carter tied the game with a three-pointer, the Raiders then went on an 8-to-2 run to take a six point advantage.
The lead was at seven when Oyefusi connected from beyond the arc to start a 6-2 run for the Wolves to end the half. Shippensburg took a 32-29 edge into the break.
The second half was tight early on, and Oyefusi hit another three-pointer to make it a four point contest at 41-37 with 15:29 to play.
The Raiders scored the next 11 points to take over the game.
Oyefusi made 4-of-5 from the field including both of his three-point attempts and 3-of-5 free-throws for his career-high 13 points.
