BRONX, N.Y. – In addition to scoring a game-high 21 points, Davidson's Jon Axel Gudmundsson became just the fourth player in school history to hit the 500-assist plateau as the 'Cats rallied past Fordham, 74-62, Sunday afternoon at Rose Hill Gym.
With the win, the 'Cats improve to 8-9 overall and 2-3 in Atlantic 10 play, while the Rams fall to 6-11 and 0-5.
A senior from Grindavik, Iceland, Gudmundsson finished 8-of-12 from the floor, drilled four 3-pointers and handed out 9 assists, just missing his third straight double-double.
The 2019 Atlantic 10 Player of the Year, joins Jason Richards (663), Ali Ton (646) and Chris Alpert (542) as the only Wildcats to hit the milestone.
Gudmundsson was joined in double figures by backcourt mates Mike Jones (15) and Carter Collins (11).
Davidson wasted little time erasing its halftime deficit as the 'Cats opened the second half on a 25-7 run, capped by 14 straight points to grab a 62-48 advantage. During their game-changing streak, the Wildcats were 9-of-12 from the floor, including six 3-pointers.
The 'Cats shot 56 percent in the final frame to finish at 54 percent, which included a 12-of-30 effort from long range. Davidson was as impressive defensively in the second half holding the Rams to just 32 percent (8-25).
Fordham shot 55.2 percent in the first 20 minutes and turned seven Davidson miscues into 12 points at the other end to carry a 41-37 lead into the break. Jones scored the last 11 points in the period for the 'Cats, who trailed by as many as nine in the half.
Onyi Eyisi paced four Fordham players in double figures with 17 points.
Up Next
Davidson returns home for its next two, beginning with a 7 p.m. tip against Saint Louis on Wednesday.
