No Doubt About Bulldogs Earning 8th Straight "W"

WINTERVILLE—If there was any question about whether Pitt Community College would extend its current winning streak Monday night, it was answered shortly after tip-off.

The Bulldogs, playing aggressive defense from the start, jumped out to an early lead on Mid-Atlantic Christian University and never looked back in running their record to 17-8 overall this season.

The 95-54 non-conference win over the Mustangs was PCC's eighth straight. The 'Dawgs will look to make it nine in a row Thursday night at Vance-Granville Community College.

The last time the Bulldogs lost was Jan. 21, against Richard Bland College. Pitt will have a chance to avenge that defeat on Saturday, when the Statesmen visit the Charles Coburn Center at 3 p.m.

Against MACU, PCC built a 43-26 lead by halftime and continued to score easy buckets in transition to seal the win.

Michael Williams went 8-for-11 from the floor and 4-for-6 from the free-throw line to finish with 21 points for the Bulldogs. Romone Adderley tacked on 18 more on 8-of-10 shooting to go along with six assists, and Josh Cox tallied 15 points and a team-high seven rebounds.

As a team, PCC shot 59.4 percent (38-for-64) from the field for the game, including 45 percent (9-for-20) from 3-point range. The Bulldogs finished with 12 steals against the Mustangs.
