DAVIDSON, N.C. – Will Archambault recorded 22 points and eight rebounds, and Davidson's defense allowed just 14 field goals in a 78-37 home-opening men's basketball victory over Fredonia State Wednesday night at Belk Arena.

Davidson broke open a 32-20 halftime lead by outscoring the Blue Devils 24-3 over the first 9:56 of the second half. The 'Cats allowed just one Fredonia State basket and forced six Blue Devil turnovers during the stretch, which gave Davidson a 56-23 cushion. The margin grew to as many as 41 points on a pair of Ben Allison free throws with 1:15 remaining.
A 15-4 run in the first half broke a 12-12 tie and gave the Wildcats a 27-16 advantage with 2:19 left. Archambault ignited the run with consecutive 3-pointers and scored 10 points during the spurt, while Kuhlman netted the other five.
The Wildcats hit 14-of-29 from 3-point range with five different players hitting a trey. Davidson also had 20 assists on 26 made baskets and outrebounded the Blue Devils 45-24.
