Trailblazers get past Bobcats 69-55

GAFFNEY, S.C. | Max Topham scored 11 of his team-high 16 points in the second half to lead North Greenville University past Georgia College & State University 69-55 in a non-conference men's basketball game Saturday (Nov. 9) morning at the Timken Center on the campus of Limestone University.

The Trailblazers improved to 1-1, while the Bobcats fell to 0-2. GCSU returns to the Centennial Center for its home opener against Auburn University at Montgomery Wednesday (Nov. 13) at 7 p.m. The game will be a Black Out as the Bobcats will wear their new black uniforms.

North Greenville led by as many as 13 points (26-13) in the latter stages of the first half. The Bobcats put together a 17-2 run, including the final 14 points in a row as GCSU took a 30-28 lead on a Aidan Kudlas driving layup with four seconds left before halftime. Kudlas scored 11 of his 14 points in the opening 20 minutes.

The Trailblazers used eight unanswered points to open up a 45-38 lead on a Michael Wilson Jr. putback with 14:28 to play. Georgia College was able to close within three points (47-44) on an Oscar Lynch three-pointer with 12:03 left, but that would be as close as the Bobcats, who shot 20.8 percent (5-of-24) from the field in the second half, would get the remainder of the game.

Lynch, who hit four three-pointers, led the Bobcats with 18 points. Mason Etter pulled down as career-high 11 rebounds, while Tony Carpio had eight and Luke Krawczyk posted seven more.
