CHARLESTON, S.C. – Andrew Goudelock netted a game-high 33 points and added five assists, and the College of Charleston outscored Davidson 11-4 in the last four minutes to earn an 82-73 Southern Conference men's basketball victory in the league opener for both schools.

Jake Cohen led the Wildcats (3-4, 0-1 SoCon) with 23 points and 10 rebounds. The sophomore was 8-of-14 from the field, 2-for-4 from 3-point range and made all five of his free-throw attempts.

JP Kuhlman added 16 points, and Tom Droney netted 10. Clint Mann recorded eight points and six rebounds.

Goudelock was 13-for-19 from the field, 3-for-5 from long distance and 4-of-5 from the charity stripe for the Cougars (5-3, 1-0 SoCon). Trent Wiedeman posted 10 points and eight rebounds, and Antwaine Wiggins tallied nine points and seven boards.

The game was tied 67-67 under the six-minute mark, but Davidson hit a scoring rut and connected on just one field goal for the remainder of the contest.

After Simmons made two free throws and Lawrence scored a layup, Droney got fouled going to the basket. The freshman made two free throws to trim the margin to 71-69.

Wiedeman tallied a conventional 3-point play, but a Kuhlman jumper just inside the arc made the score 74-71. Wiggins responded with a jumper, and Cohen's two free throws drew Davidson within three points again with 3:04 to play.

Goudelock sparked CofC's finishing kick with a triple, and Davidson turned it over. Monroe then converted a jumper after rebounding his own blocked shot, and the 'Cats missed a 3-pointer, leaving the score at 81-73 with 2:02 to go.

The teams traded missed shots, and Wiedeman converted 1-of-2 from the free-throw line with 55 seconds left for the final margin as the Wildcats missed two desparation 3-point attempts.

The teams played a back-and-forth, offensive first half that featured nine lead changes and five ties. Davidson shot 48 percent from the floor and hit 11-of-15 free throws, while CofC shot 59 percent from the field.

The 'Cats opened a 37-28 cushion on a Droney jumper with 7:09 left in the frame, but the Cougars finished the stanza on a 9-4 run, and Goudelock's runner from the baseline beat the buzzer and made the halftime score 44-44.

Davidson returns to action with another conference game at The Citadel Saturday at 3 p.m.

Game Notes: It was Cohen's first career double-double, and his scoring total was one point shy of his career high… Davidson dropped to 1-5 in Carolina First Arena, while Charleston improved to 26-5 in their new building… The Cougars have won four of the last five against Davidson.
