Box Score SALISBURY, N.C. – Six Chargers scored in double figures, Josh Magette had a career performance, and the No. 2 University of Alabama in Huntsville men's basketball team never trailed in securing an 84-77 victory over Catawba on Sunday to remain perfect on the year. The Chargers moved to 3-0, while Catawba fell to 2-2.

A day after moving over the 600-assist mark, Magette came one helper away from tying the school record for assists in a game as he established a new career high with 16 on the day. Registering his second-straight double-double, the senior from Birmingham added 13 points.

Zane Campbell – who finished as one of the six with 10 points on the afternoon on the strength of a perfect 5-for-5 showing from the field – scored the game's first points, and the hosts tied the affair at the 19:01 mark of the opening half, but Srdjan Boskovic's trey at 18:46 gave the visitors the lead it would not relinquish.

Scoring in double figures for the first time this season, Boskovic finished the contest with 11.

A Magette 3-pointer put the Chargers up by 14 at 10:05 of the opening period, and Jaime Smith hit one from beyond the arc at 8:23 to produce the same advantage – the largest lead the nation's second-ranked team would enjoy in the contest.

Free throws allowed Catawba to cut into the advantage as the Indians were 11-of-14 from the charity stripe in the first half to help create a 46-43 UAH lead at the half.

The hosts scored the first points of the second stanza to pull within one, but the Chargers responded with a 13-2 run over the next five minutes to hold a 59-47 margin with 14:14 left in the contest.

An 11-1 run for the Indians cut the lead down to just two for the Blue and White with 11:26 remaining, but that would be as close as Catawba would get the rest of the way.

Smith finished the contest as the team's leading scorer as he tallied 10 of his 18 points in the second half including a trey with 23 seconds left to end any hope of a Catawba comeback and to produce the 84-77 final.

Matching Boskovic, Xavier Baldwin scored 11 points and grabbed six rebounds to share the team lead in boards with Andrew Donovan who was strong off the bench for the Chargers as he connected on four of his five attempts from downtown to score 12.

Playing some key minutes with Campbell on the bench in foul trouble, reserve Conner Blasi was an unblemished 4-for-4 from the field en route to tallying nine points.

The Chargers finished the day shooting 58.8 percent from the field while it limited the hosts to shoot just 47.3 percent including a 3-of-18 (16.7 percent) showing from beyond the arc. UAH hit 12 of its 25 long-range attempts for a 48 percent success rate. The Indians attempted nearly double the amount of free throws that the Chargers had, hitting 22-of-28 from the line while UAH was 12-of-15.

The rebounding battle narrowly tilted towards the visitors by a 28-27 margin.

The Chargers will have the next four days off before traveling to Pensacola, Fla., to play a pair of games at the West Florida Thanksgiving Classic. The team opens up with North Georgia on Friday at 4 p.m.
