Hot-shooting Knights Pull Away From Bridgewater

Box Score

BUENA VISTA, Va. - Bridgewater College shot 51 percent from the floor Tuesday night, but the Eagles were no match for hot-shooting Southern Virginia University as the Knights pulled away for a 91-65 victory.

The Knights shot 55.8 percent from the floor and a blistering 61 percent from 3-point range against the Eagles.

Bridgewater trailed by just 10 points, 43-33, at the half and pulled to within eight points when Segar Jordan opened the second half with a bucket. The Knights then drained three 3-pointers during a 15-4 run to go up by 19 points, 58-39, with 15:23 left in the game.

"We were down 16 late in the first half, but our guys off the bench came in and defended and we got the lead down to 10 at the half," Bridgewater head coach Don Burgess said. "Southern Virginia picked up where they left off and kept knocking down the 3-ball in the second half. Hats off to them, they shot the ball extremely well."

In the final 20 minutes, the Knights made 7-of-9 from 3-point range.

Ade Swann led four Southern Virginia players in double figures with 23 points.

Jake Johnson and Jordan scored 10 each to lead the Eagles.

"About the only bright spot for us was the fact that we did outrebound them by 10, 34-24," Burgess said. Johnson led the Eagles with nine rebounds.

Bridgewater is now 2-2 on the season.
