Royals fall on the road to Wingate

Box Score CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Queens University of Charlotte men's basketball team (7-6) picked up their first loss of the New Year this evening at Wingate University (9-4). The loss snaps the Royals' four-game win streak and puts their South Atlantic Conference record at 5-4. The Bulldogs improve to 6-3 with the win.
 
Sophomore guard Joby Glymph was able to lead the Royals with 11 points after scoring on 8-of-10 attempts at the foul line. Senior forward Josh Clyburn was also able to score the majority of his points at the free-throw line connecting on 6-of-12 attempts. He finished the game with 10 points. Senior guard Jarrett Stokes also scored 10 points, while junior forward Nkosi Ali added nine points.
 
After Clyburn tied the game at 7-7 at the foul line with 14:41 on the clock the Royals took over the lead with a three from Stokes. A layup from Ali at 12:16 would put the Royals ahead by five, 16-11, but the Bulldogs answered with a 16-3 run to take an eight-point lead with 6:51 to play. The Royals would cut the lead to two as the final minute of the half approached, but a free-throw and a bucket from the Bulldogs would give the home team a 39-34 lead at the break.
 
The second half is where the Bulldogs were able to open the game up with a 16-3 run to begin the period. The Royals' first field goal of the half would not come until the 12:53 mark when Clyburn scored a layup. The forward would score the second field goal for Queens as well nearly two minutes later.
