CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel basketball team set a new school record for points in a single game in its 132-60 win over Mid-Atlantic Christian. Freshman Quayson Williams led the Bulldogs with a game-high 30 points behind a school record-breaking 10 three-pointers. The Bulldogs are now 2-1 on the season for the third time since 2009.
 
Thirteen different players scored in the blowout victory and six players scored in double figures. Freshmen Matt Frierson and Connor Schroeder recorded career-highs off the bench with 18 points and 12 points, respectively. The Citadel's record-breaking night was fueled by 85 bench points.
 
Derrick Henry added 13 points and P.J. Boutte dished out a career-best 11 assists as The Citadel made 49 field goals on 37 assists. Additionally, sophomore Tim Broom provided a spark with the reserves, racking up a career-high eight assists, seven points and three rebounds.
 
Defensively, the Bulldogs held Mid-Atlantic Christian to just 21 made field goals while collecting 16 steals. The Citadel also turned the Mustangs over 27 times and scored 45 points off those turnovers. The Bulldogs set the tone early on both ends of the floor in the opening minutes, surging ahead 19-3 behind six forced turnovers and a trio of three-pointers from Williams on three consecutive possessions.
 
The Citadel went into halftime with an 83-26 advantage. The Bulldogs shattered the school record for most points in a half, which was previously 73 points, set on Nov. 28, 2005 vs. Florida Christian.
 
In the second half, the Bulldogs coasted to their second victory in three days. Freshman Garrett Mullis checked in down the stretch and nailed a three-pointer for his first career field goal. The Citadel had tied the school record with 131 points in the final minute, but a free throw by senior walk-on Bobby Duncan with 31 seconds left made sure history was made at McAlister Field House. Duncan scored the first six points of his career during the win.
 
The Citadel now finishes a stretch of four games in eight days with a trip to Presbyterian on Saturday. Tip off is set for 7 p.m. and the game will be streamed for free on the Big South Network.
