Wingate, N.C. - The Newberry College men's basketball program (0-5, 0-3 SAC) fell to the Wingate Bulldogs (4-1, 2-1 SAC) by a score of 89-57 on Tuesday. 

The Bulldogs started the game with a 14-2 run, but a pair of threes from Jalen Johnson and Andrew Robinson would help to keep the Wolves in the game early. QuanDaveon McCollum would try to spark the offense, scoring 8 of his 13 points in the first half, but the Wolves would go into the half down 37-20 after the Bulldogs went on a 12-0 run late in the first half.  

A bucket from Tai Giger would get the scoring started in the second half, but the Bulldogs answered with a 16-0 run to extend their lead. With the game starting to get out of hand, the Wolves needed someone to step up, and Malik Joseph would do just that as the freshman dropped all 17 of his points in the second half while shooting 5-7 from the floor and a perfect 7-7 from the free throw line. Despite the effort, the Bulldogs were able to hold off the Wolves' attack. 

Joseph led the Wolves in scoring with 17 points while also grabbing 4 rebounds off the bench. McCollum would join him in double-figures with 13 points of his own. Robinson also had a solid outing with 9 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals.
