LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - The Wildcats scored a season-high 88 points and picked up a much-needed victory over Livingstone College in the HBCU Invitational.


1st Quarter
Bethune-Cookman (2-7) set the tone in the first, getting off to a scorching-hot start from the field. The Wildcats made 11 of their 16 shot attempts and shot 3-for-4 from beyond the arc en route to a 26 point-quarter.

B-CU held Livingstone to 33.3% shooting, but the Blue Bears found success on the glass, outrebounding B-CU 14-8 while grabbing eight offensive rebounds.

Ultimately, the Wildcats were able to use their strong offensive output to build a 26-16 advantage, one that they would never relinquish the remainder of the game.

2nd Quarter
The second quarter was evenly played overall, with both teams shooting around 31% from the floor.

Three-point shooting proved to be the difference, as B-CU made three shots from downtown to just one for the Blue Bears. As a result, the Wildcats won the quarter 19-13 and held a 16-point lead going into halftime.

Daimoni Dorsey led the way for the Wildcats, scoring 14 points in the half with two three-pointers made.

3rd Quarter
Bethune-Cookman was able to maintain a decent-sized in the third, despite shoot just 1-for-7 from three. Both teams had similar field-goal percentages and rebounding totals.

Livingstone held the slight edge in the quarter 18-16, but still faced a tough hill to climb heading into the fourth down 61-47.

4th Quarter
The Wildcats shot the ball extremely well to close out the win, just as they did to begin the game. B-CU made nine of their 18 attempts and shot 3-for-6 from three-point range in the fourth, scoring 27 points.

The Blue Bears also shot well (53.8%), but finished with five less shot attempts as they turned the ball over eight times.

Bethune-Cookman won by a final score of 88-67 as they led for 39 of the games 40 minutes.

• Daomoni Dorsey led B-CU with a season-high 18 points on 7-for-13 shooting (2-for-4 from three), also adding a season-high four steals.
