GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) --- Justin Neely had 23 points, including game-tying free
throws in regulation, and a double-double in UNC Greensboro's 69-66 overtime
victory over Citadel on Thursday.
Neely added 16 rebounds for the Spartans (7-11, 3-2 Southern Conference).
Lilian Marville shot 7 for 14 (1 for 3 from 3-point range) and 0 of 3 from the
free-throw line to add 15 points. Valentino Pinedo finished 5 of 6 from the
floor to finish with 10 points.
Neely tied the game at 62 with a pair of free throws with 1:19 remaining, then
gave the Spartans the lead for good with a layup with 2:41 left in overtime.
The Bulldogs (4-14, 1-4) were led by Braxton Williams, who recorded 25 points.
Carter Kingsbury added 15 points, six assists and two steals for Citadel.
Christian Moore finished with 13 points.
The Bulldogs led 33-19 at the half after shutting out the Spartans for more
than 10 minutes in the first half, going on a 20-0 run. They added another 8-0
run to go up by 16 early in the second half.
But the Spartans answered with a 28-11 run to take the lead with 9:46 remaining
on a Neely layup. Neither team led by more than six points the rest of the way.
