Advertiser

The University of Charleston, fresh off its win over Concord, hits the road again when the Golden Eagles travel to West Virginia Wesleyan today at 4 p.m. in a West Virginia Conference men's basketball matchup.

UC (8-2 overall, 4-2 WVC) downed the host Mountain Lions 66-50 Thursday behind Terrell Lipkins' 23 points on 10-of-14 shooting. The Golden Eagles hadn't played for several weeks because of the Christmas holiday.

Lipkins tops all scorers for the Golden Eagles at 18.6 points per game, followed Aleksander Kesic (12.3), Evan Faulkner (10.6) and Xavier Humphrey (10.5). Wesleyan (5-4, 2-3), which defeated Seton Hill 79-68 Dec. 31, is led by Kelsey Williams' 18.1 points and Noah Cottrill's 16.7.

Also tonight, West Virginia State hosts Glenville State at 7:30 p.m.

The Yellow Jackets (4-6, 2-3) lost at Davis & Elkins their last time out, a 78-59 setback Dec. 15, which was also their third straight loss. Anton Hutchins (13.4) and David Ford (12.7) are the only players averaging double figures in scoring for State.

Glenville (7-4, 3-3) owns a three-game winning streak after an 89-83 home victory over Salem International Dec. 31. Jamel Morris' 18.9 points leads four players in double digits.
