CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) -- Kevin Hartley scored 14 points and his
tip-in with 1:02 remaining put Gardner-Webb ahead to stay in a
55-52 nonconference victory Saturday over College of Charleston.



Tashan Newsome added 12 points for the Runnin' Bulldogs (18-11),
of the Big South Conference, who have won five consecutive
games. His three jumpers in a span of 1:14 to give Gardner-Webb
a 49-47 lead, but Anthony Thomas' layup for the Cougars (20-9)
tied it 19 seconds later.



Neither team scored for the next 3:15 until Hartley tipped in a
Newsome miss.



After Charleston's Trent Wiedeman missed two free throws that
could have tied the game, Hartley missed one but got the rebound
and made two from the line for a 53-49 lead with 16 seconds
left.



Andrew Lawrence scored 16 points for Charleston, of the Southern
Conference, which shot a season-low 33.3 percent (18 of 54).



Gardner-Webb shot 36.5 percent (19 of 52).
