The Appalachian State University
men’s basketball team received their second conference loss
of the season at the hands of Davidson College Saturday 99-86.
After a huge victory over Western Carolina University in Boone
the Mountaineers looked to improve their already impressive record
at Davidson, but the Wildcats had different plans.
With six Wildcat players scoring double figures, it was obvious
the No. 1 ranked offense of the Mountaineers had their work cut
out for them.
Senior Wayne Bernard led the way for Davidson netting 25 points
on 7-of-11 from the field, dishing out six assists and tallying
three steals. Senior Michel Lusakueno and sophomore Conor Grace
both posted double-doubles in the winning effort.
Senior Shawn Hall returned to action and was the leading scorer
for Appalachian, recording 23 points on the afternoon.
