By: Philip Ratchford, Sports Information

Wilmington, NC- The St. Andrews University men’s basketball team traveled to UNC-Wilmington on Saturday to play in their first contest of the season. The exhibition game at Trask Coliseum on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington gave fans a good show as the Knights were within three points of the Seahawks with 4:00 minutes left in the game. UNCW managed to pull away in the end and finished the game with an 80-69 win over St. Andrews.

Senior Ryan Streater (Charlotte, NC) led the Knights with 19 points during the contest. Streater went 7-5 from the field and shot 50% behind the arc. Streater also set up under the basket to get 13 total rebounds for SAU. Chris Sumski (Charlotte, NC) and Michael Dunkins (Candor, NC) each added 9 points for the ‘Drew against the Seahawks as the Knights pulled a 32.5 field goal percentage, nine of which were long range.

St. Andrews stuck with the Seahawks and came close to taking the lead several times, but could not seem to get ahead. UNCW always reacted to the Knights’ drive and pushed for more points to maintain their lead over SAU; Keith Rendleman led UNCW with 14 points, all of which came from inside the arc or at the line, while Donte Morales contributed 11 points by going 6-10 in overall field goal attempts.

SAU out-shot UNCW from the line this weekend. The Knights sunk 57.1% of their attempted free throws while the Seahawks hit 53.8%. St. Andrews also posted more assists on Saturday, showing their ability to move the ball and take the smartest shot. Senior Aaron Christian (New Bedford, MA) earned six assists and put up seven points, helping the Knights stay in the game.

The Knights will head to Rock Hill, SC, for their final exhibition game on Saturday, November 5. Winthrop University is set to host St. Andrews at 7:00 PM for what promises to be a thrilling game of men’s basketball.
