Citadel Continues to Struggle

Two games ago against Furman, they lost 67-63 and in the last game against East Tennesse State, they ended up losing 70-52. Guard Cam GLover did have a strong game putting up 13 points but it wasn’t enough as they didn’t have a balanced enough attack.

Donovan Atwell had a strong game, putting up 19 points and three rebounds. Kenyon Giles also put up 12 points. Two games ago against Chattanooga the defense still wasn’t great, but they scored 78 points on the way to the three-point victory.
