Final Score: VA Commonwealth 63 - UNC-Wilmington 59

Wilmington, NC (Sports Network) - Rob Brandenberg scored 21 points and cleared six rebounds in a reserve role as he helped guide Virginia Commonwealth to a 63-59 win over UNC-Wilmington in a Colonial Athletic Association matchup at Trask Coliseum.

Also scoring in double figures for the Rams (24-6, 14-3 CAA) as they posted their second straight win and the 13th in the last 14 outings, was Juvonte Reddic who tallied 14 and also notched a team-best nine rebounds.

The Seahawks (9-19, 5-12) were paced by Keith Rendleman who registered a double-double with a game-high 24 points and 10 rebounds, but still the team was handed a fifth straight loss. Tanner Milson tacked on 11 points and Cedrick Williams seven points and a game-high 11 boards.

UNCW managed to put together a six-point lead with about eight and a half minutes remaining in the first half, but even after shooting an impressive 52.0 percent from the floor the team had to settle for a 31-28 advantage at the break.

In the second half the Seahawks were held to a total of just 10 made field goals, the team hitting on only 1-of-6 behind the three-point line and 7-of-13 at the free-throw line. That lackluster effort allowed VCU to battle back and take a double-digit lead with under five minutes left, before holding on for the four-point decision.

In addition to shooting just 9-of-19 at the charity stripe, UNCW hurt itself with 19 turnovers, which the Rams converted into 19 points.
