More news about: Norwich

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – For a second consecutive game, the senior-freshman combination of forwards Antonio Davis (Albany, N.Y.) and Evan Tullar (Chelsea, Vt.) topped the points chart for Norwich University Feb. 4.

Davis guided the Cadets (5-15, 4-10 GNAC) in more than points in a 113-61 loss at the hands of Johnson and Wales. Along with his 14 points, he also snared eight rebounds, picked up a steal and dished out four assists. Tullar registered 10 points and had one of the Cadets' two blocked shots.

Despite their efforts, NU couldn't slow down a strong offensive attack from the Wildcats (9-11, 8-5). JWU put three players in double figures, including a game-high 38 from senior forward Lamonte Thomas, and drilled 23 three-pointers. Coach Paul Booth's squad scored the first two points of the game on a lay-up from Tullar, but the hosts roared off on a 30-7 run from that point and didn't look back.

Norwich looks to break a four-game skid when St. Joseph's College of Maine visits Andrews Gymnasium for a 7:30 tip-off Tuesday, Feb. 7. Fans, friends and alumni of the Maroon and Gold can track the game via live statistics at www.norwichathletics.com, the Internet home of Norwich athletics.
