 Lawrenceville, VA ~ The Tigers of Saint Paul’s College (0-1 CIAA, 1-1 Overall) earn their first win of the season by defeating the Columbia Union College Pioneers (0-5 Overall), 106 – 69.

Just as the Tigers, the Pioneers marched into Taylor-Whitehead Gymnasium looking for their first win, but would end up nowhere near it.  Saint Paul’s jumped out to a great start with a 9-0 lead seizing all momentum away from Columbia Union and never relinquishing it.  By the twelve minute mark of the first half the Tigers had already increased their lead by double digits with the score showing 20-9. 

With a halftime score of 51-25, the Tigers already smelled their opponent’s eminent defeat and began the second half with striking force.  SPC continued to rally increasing their lead to almost 40 points before the first ten minutes of the half was even complete.  

With pre-season pick All-CIAA Jack Browne (32 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assist, 2 blocks, 1 steal) leading the way and earning his third consecutive double double of the season, the Tigers seemed untamable to the Pioneers.  Browne’s spectacular play excited the fans and sparked his teammates into playing at the level of confidence and skill in which he performed.  As a team the Tigers the shot 59.2% from field goal range and had 5 players score double figures. 

Freshmen Maurice Reevey (20 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assist, 1 steal) and Adrian Moffatt (17 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals) were also standouts in this game posting their second consecutive double figures scoring efforts of the season.  Tonight the Tigers awoke from their slumber with fierce intentions as they pounced on the Columbia Union Pioneers to win their first game of the season.
