The Terriers withstood the Bulldogs' hectic style to improve to 2-1 in the Southern Conference.

Wofford withstood the hectic style of The Citadel and took a 109-92 win Saturday night in Richardson Indoor Stadium.

The Citadel uses a full-court trapping defense and a quick-trigger offense, leading the country in possessions per game. The Terriers were down by as many as 10 points in the first half against that frantic pace but regained their composure and never trailed in the second half.

"We won and nobody got seriously hurt. That’s all I care about," Wofford head coach Mike Young said. "Whatever I told them (before the game) wasn’t very good. Take care of the ball, know you’re going to get fouled and take the (3-point) arc away. We didn’t do those things very well. But we scored 109 points and we won going away."

Wofford (10-5, 2-1 Southern Conference) used a 15-2 run late in the first half for a 34-31 advantage and pushed that to 45-37 by the break. The Bulldogs (5-10, 0-3) got as close as 50-48 in the second half and it was 69-65 with less than 12 minutes remaining.

"We got close and then we started swapping baskets with them," The Citadel head coach Duggar Baucom said. "That’s not going to do."

Nathan Hoover scored a career-high 21 points to lead five players in double figures. Trevor Stumpe reached a career-high for the second straight game with 19, Storm Murphy had 17, Cameron Jackson 13 points to go with 13 rebounds, and Fletcher Magee, who limped off in the first half with a turned ankle but missed only a few possessions, had 11 points. Magee reached 1,400 points for his career and double-figure scoring for the 60th straight game.

"We kind of had a game plan to take Magee out," Baucom said. "I think we did a good job against him, but Hoover stepped up. And then over guys stepped up. We wanted other guys to have to beat us and they did beat us."

Derrick Brooks had nine points and six rebounds. Tray Hollowell had eight points, Keve Aluma six points with seven rebounds and Donovan Theme-Love had five points to go with three assists and two steals.

The Terriers won for the seventh time in their past eight games, the only loss during that stretching coming a week earlier at UNCG. They play host Wednesday in a non-conference game against Harvard before playing host next Saturday to league favorite Furman.

"We have got a good team and good players," Young said. "They believe that when it gets tough, we’ll figure it out."
