Box Score

Pembroke, NC- It seemed to be a difficult night for men’s basketball as the UNC Pembroke Holiday Classic kicked off this evening. Both St. Andrews and UNCP had to work hard to maintain possession of the ball tonight as there were an oddly high number of turnovers for both teams. In the end, the Braves managed to top the Knights 98-76 in SAU’s first regular season men’s basketball game.

Leading the Knights’ (0-1 Overall, 0-0 Conference) offense was Washington, DC, native Ross Williams. St. Andrews shot 66.7% from the line, while the Braves (1-0, 0-0) earned an impressive 83.3 free-throw percentage. Williams knocked down four jumpers from inside the arc and hit eight of his nine free throws; giving him a total of 16 points in tonight’s game, in addition to passing four assists. Senior Ryan Streater (Charlotte, NC) pushed the Knights forward by earning six rebounds and 15 total points, as he was very active under the rim.

Senior Antonio Moffitt (Raleigh, NC) also worked down low for SAU. Moffitt posted 13 points for the ‘Drew and managed to grab three steals, while teammate Aaron Christian (New Bedford, MA) snagged six steals that added to the Knights’ total of 21. In addition to his quick defensive hands, Christian also found himself putting up 11 points and four assists, tying with Williams for the most assists of the night for St. Andrews.

Michael Dunkins (Candor, NC) boasted the most rebounds for the Knights at the conclusion of the game with seven, while also putting 11 points on the board to help keep SAU in the game.

The Knights will take the court at the Jones Center on the campus of UNC Pembroke on Saturday, November 12 at 6:00 PM to take on the Patriots of Francis Marion University.
