CHARLESTON, S.C. – Senior All-America candidate Andrew Goudelock (Stone Mountain, Ga.) registered a game-high 25 points as College of Charleston swept the regular-season series with defending Southern Conference champion Wofford in a 79-54 rout on Thursday night before a White Out crowd of 5,038 fans at Carolina First Arena on ESPNU.

It marked the third series sweep for the Cougars (16-7, 9-2) over the Terriers (12-11, 9-3) in the Bobby Cremins Era and the largest margin of victory (+25) since an 82-62 CofC home win in 2004. The last six-straight meetings between the two South Division rivals had been decided by six points or less.

Wofford led 34-32 at halftime, but the Cougars quickly took charge by sprinting out to a 20-4 run. Junior Antwaine Wiggins (Greeneville, Tenn.) scored 11 of his 13 points in the second half of play including a jumper with 7:43 left in regulation to take a commanding 60-42 lead.

Sophomore Willis Hall (Charlotte, N.C.), who had nine points and 11 rebounds in both team's first meeting on Feb. 3, added 10 points for CofC, which moved a half-game ahead of the Terriers in the SoCon divisional standings.

Wofford trailed by as many as 28 points during a second half in which it was outscored 47-20. The CofC defense held defending SoCon Player of the Year Noah Dahlman to just seven points in that time frame as he was the only opposing player to knock down double figures with 22.

Goudelock made four 3-pointers on a night in which CofC connected on 10-of-26 from beyond the arc, while Wofford was only 2-of-8. The Cougars built up momentum in the second half by taking a six-point lead on a layup by sophomore Andrew Lawrence (London, England), 44-38, with under 16 to go and never looked back.

Up next, the Cougars will take on Furman (17-6, 9-3) on Saturday, Feb. 5 at Carolina First Arena. Tipoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. (ET) as part of CofC Homecoming Weekend and the game will be televised regionally on CSS.

POSTGAME NOTES
• For the 21st time this season, CofC used the starting five of senior Donavan Monroe, senior Andrew Goudelock, junior Antwaine Wiggins, sophomore Willis Hall and senior Jeremy Simmons (14-7).
• With the win, the Cougars claimed their third series sweep of Wofford in the Bobby Cremins Era and the largest margin of victory (+25) since an 82-62 home win (+20) on Feb. 2, 2004 in Charleston. The last six-straight meetings between the two South Division rivals had previously been decided by six points or less.
• Andrew Goudelock turned in his 40th career 20-point game with a game-high 25 points versus the Terriers. He went a perfect 5-for-5 from the charity stripe and knocked down four of the team's 10 three-pointers in the ballgame. Goudelock also dished out a game-high six assists to record his second consecutive 100+ assist season (102). In addition, he slammed down his 11th career dunk at the 4:51 minute mark of the second half.
• Antwaine Wiggins led the team in rebounding for the sixth time this year with six of the team's 38 boards versus Wofford. He also scored 11 of his 13 points in the second half.
• Willis Hall notched his eighth double-figure game of the season with 10 points and five rebounds versus Wofford.
• Former CofC star and two-time NAIA All-American Greg Mack, who starred for the Cougars under legendary head coach John Kresse from 1982-85, was honored at halftime in an honored jersey ceremony, the first of its kind in the two-year-old Carolina First Arena. He led the Cougars to the program's first and only NAIA National Championship title in 1983 and a school-record 33 wins. Mack still ranks third all-time in the CofC record books behind Andrew Goudelock (2,235) and Ken Gustafson (2,135) in career scoring (1,901) and sixth all-time in career rebounding (842).

POSTGAME QUOTES
College of Charleston Head Coach Bobby Cremins
On the game …
“I didn't think we were ourselves in the first half and Willis Hall hitting that three loosened us up. I was glad we were only down two at halftime. I thought we could have been down eight or 10. We hung in there. Andrew Lawrence hit a bit three. We were not stopping them. They were penetrating on us. I was just trying to get to the locker room without been too badly wounded. In the second half, we started to be ourselves. Drew (Goudelock) looked like his old self, hitting threes and passing. Out of nowhere, Antwaine Wiggins joined the party and that was big. Then Donovan Monroe, who has been in a little bit of a slump, hit a three. After coming off of the loss (at Davidson), this was a great win for us. Furman beat Citadel tonight, so there is no time to relax.”

College of Charleston Senior Guard Andrew Goudelock
On getting a big win over Wofford …
“We just played hard. In the first half, we weren't playing like ourselves. In the second half, we played a lot of defense and a lot of people scored. When a lot of people are scoring on our team, it's deadly.”

College of Charleston Junior Forward Antwaine Wiggins
On playing well inside against Wofford …
“Coach (Cremins) and my teammates have been stressing to me how important it is to crash the boards. Every chance there is an opportunity to get a second chance point, I've been trying to work on that in practice and hope it happens like a game like tonight.”

College of Charleston Freshman Forward Trent Wiedeman
On shutting down Wofford's Noah Dahlman in the second half …
“We just played harder. In the first half, when the guards penetrated, we stepped up too early and they kicked it right down to him. In the second half, we made adjustments and it obviously was a big difference.”

Wofford Head Coach Mike Young
On the game …
“Hats off to the College of Charleston. I thought we had it right where we needed it at the half, with the exception of the rebounding. They had 12 offensive rebounds. Then the wheels came off for our team a little bit. I can't explain how that happened or why that happened. They made shots and we were not very good on the offensive end. The College of Charleston outplayed us in the second half. But, we have a lot of basketball to play and I have a good basketball team. I hope we have an opportunity to play the Cougars one more time.”
