Newberry, S.C.----The Wingate University Bulldogs got 76 combined points from Jakob Dawkins, Emarius Logan and Charlie Hovasse Wednesday night, piling up a season-high 110 points in a 110-91 victory at Newberry College in South Atlantic Conference men's basketball action. Wingate wins its third straight, improving to 16-10 overall and 12-6 in the SAC. The Wolves fall to 9-16 overall and 4-13 in league play.

THOUGHTS FROM BRIAN GOOD

"Obviously we shot the ball well, but I think a big contributor to that was how selfless we played. We shared the ball tonight as well as we have all season. We were solid defensively and limited their drives to the rim. Several guys had good nights, but I thought Charlie's was special."
