VCU USES HUGE SECOND HALF TO DOWN UMES

RICHMOND, VA -- New UMES head coach William Hughes' career got off to a rough start Friday night as the VCU Rams (1-0) took it to the UMES Hawks (0-1) by a score of 102-73. The game started off well for the Hawks, as they jumped out to an early lead and led by as much as 9 points midway through the first half. However, that lead would soon evaporate and UMES found themselves trailing 45-43 at the end of the first half.

From that point forward it was all VCU, as they would put up 57 points in the second half on way to the rout. VCU senior guard J.D. Evans was completely unstoppable in the contest, putting up 39 points on 14-27 shooting including 8 made three pointers. For UMES, junior guard Ed Tyson led scoring with 20 points. He made 7-16 of his field goal attempts although he struggled to 2-8 from beyond the arc. Sophomore guard Danijel Krleski had 15 points, junior forward Aleksandar Popovic added 12 points and 12 rebounds, and freshman forward Ishmawiyl McFadden had 11 points in his collegiate debut.

"Losing the first game is disappointing," said coach Hughes, "It's pretty clear what side of the court we struggled on. Giving up 102 points is going to be a loss pretty much every time."
