ASHEVILLE, N.C. ? UNC Asheville placed four players in double figures as the Bulldogs improved to 2-0 on the season with a 91-78 win over neighboring Montreat Sunday evening.
UNC Asheville was led by sophomore forward John Williams who had a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds. He also blocked four shots in 30 minutes of action. Donovan Jones came off the bench to score 14 points, while Reid Augst and freshman Matt Dickey had 11 points each.
The Cavaliers (1-3) had five players in double figures. Vincent Dombroski came off the bench to score a game-high 16 points. Terrell Mosley chipped in 15 points for the visitors. MJ Njoku finished with 13 points and six assists. Matt Rushing and Seth Moore had 10 points apiece.
The Bulldogs led from start to finish as Augst scored six straight points to open the game.
“We played well in spurts and did a much better job rebounding,” commented UNC Asheville coach Eddie Biedenbach. “We didn't end the game the way we should have as Montreat made a great run at us in the final 10 minutes.
“We're a young team and at times it shows but we got the job done today against a well-coached Montreat team,” added Biedenbach. “I like our attitude and effort, and we'll just keep getting better.”
