Seth Brown led the charge for the Gardner-Webb Runnin’ Bulldogs, scoring 23 points in a decisive 88-66 victory over Erskine on Wednesday in Boiling Springs, N.C. Brown demonstrated exceptional perimeter efficiency, draining four of his nine three-point attempts while finishing 7-for-13 from the field. His performance anchored a high-scoring offensive display that overwhelmed the Flying Fleet, extending Gardner-Webb’s season record to 1-2.
Runnin’ Bulldogs’ shooting surge and balanced scoring secure dominant road victory.
The Runnin’ Bulldogs benefited from a balanced attack, with Mikhail Pocknett contributing 18 points and eight rebounds. Pocknett shot 6-for-9 from the field and converted six of his eight free throws, providing crucial interior presence. Aaron Talbert added 11 points, hitting three of his five three-pointers, while Justen Goudelock led Erskine with 16 points. Noah Castaneda and Andres Vergara each chipped in 10 points for the visitors, but their efforts were not enough to counter Gardner-Webb’s depth.
