CFCC Keeps Its Perfect Record

Wilmington, NC - The results are in on Election Night and Cape Fear Community College keeps its perfect record and carries Wake Tech 83-73 in Raleigh.

JT Murphy scored 17 of his game-high 20 points in the second half and the Sea Devils run their record to 3-0.

All-Region selection Faronte Drakeford led Cape Fear in the first half.  Drakeford had 15 of his 17 points as the Sea Devils built a 37-36 first half lead.  Drakeford finished the evening with his first double-double of the season grabbing a game high 12 rebounds.

Anthony Williams and Tony Menton joined Murphy with impressive second halves.  Williams scored 10 of his 12 points and Menton had 9 of his 11 points in the second half.  Freshman point guard turned in his third straight strong performance for the Sea Devils, as he dished out a game high 9 assists.

"We played with great intensity tonight and really controlled the game," commented head coach Ryan Mantlo.  "We let Wake Tech have a couple runs but did a tremendous job of answering their runs with runs of our own."

The undefeated Sea Devils travel to Myrtle Beach this Friday night for a tilt with South Carolina Sports Academy.  Game time is slated for 7:00 p.m.  Cape Fear hits the road once again Wednesday evening as they battle Guilford Tech Community College,  before making their home debut Nov. 16-17 with the Cape Fear Classic.
