Cullowhee, NC - Building off a 40-25 halftime lead, the Catamounts dominated the Asheville Bulldogs in the Ramsey Center, Wednesday night by a final score of 86-67.   Utilizing a balanced attack, the Cats had 4 players in double figure scoring.  Harouna Mutombo led the Cats with 18 points, followed by Brandon Boggs with 17 points, and Keaton Cole with 13 points and Ishmael Hollis with 10 points.  Approximately halfway through the first half, the Cats went on a 14-1 point run, pushing the score to 33-16 Catamount lead, heading to a 40-25 halftime lead.  The Bulldogs never seriously challenged in the second half, and the Dogs never led the game after a 9-9 tie in the first half.  This is a good win for the Cats over a solid team that is projected to win the Big South Conference.
