DAVIDSON, N.C. – #Nik Cochran# scored 21 points to lead five Davidson players in double figures in the scoring column as the Wildcats posted a 75-64 Southern Conference men's basketball victory over College of Charleston in Belk Arena Saturday afternoon.

Cochran was 6-of-9 from the field, 3-of-5 from 3-point range and 6-for-6 from the free-throw line for the Wildcats (9-12, 3-7 SoCon). The sophomore guard also added seven rebounds and four assists.

JP Kuhlman scored 15 points, and Brendan McKillop finished with 11. Jake Cohen and De'Mon Brooks each tallied 10 points and nine rebounds.

Andrew Goudelock scored 21 points to lead CofC (15-7, 8-2 SoCon), while Trent Wiedeman and Jeremy Simmons each scored 11 points. Andrew Lawrence finished with 10.

After missing all 10 3-point attempts in the first half, Davidson hit 9-of-14 in the second half. Despite the scoring output by Goudelock, who came into the game as the league's leading scorer, the Wildcats made him work for his points as the senior shot 9-for-24 from the floor and 1-for-6 from 3-point range.

After trailing by 14 points early in the second half, Davidson used a 15-4 spurt, capped by a Cohen triple, to get within three points 5:29 into the period. The 'Cats then scored 12 straight points midway through the frame to turn a six-point deficit into a six point lead with 7:53 to play.

The Wildcats' final run came with the score tied at 55-55, when Cohen's triple sparked an 11-3 spurt, capped by another 3-pointer, this time from Brooks, that gave the 'Cats a 66-58 cushion with 2:55 remaining. Davidson hit 7-of-10 from the free-throw line in the last two minutes to seal the win.

The Cougars opened the game with a 13-4 run and maintained the nine-point advantage to lead 33-24 at the break. Lawrence scored the last five points of the spurt, and the Wildcats were 2-for-10 from the field during the run.

The Wildcats have a short turnaround as they travel to Georgia Southern for a 7 p.m. SoCon South Division game Monday.

Game Notes: The win broke a four-game conference losing streak for the Wildcats… Davidson splits the season series with College of Charleston for the second consecutive year… Bob McKillop needs eight wins to reach 400.
