GC's 5th straight win improves it record to 6-8 and 4-0 in the USA South Athletic Conference. Its 4-0 conference mark ties its best start since the 1999-2000 season.
On the game-winning play, Marcellus Morgan (team-leading 17 points) drove to the basket and forced the defense to collapse. He found Williams open in the near corner. Williams, who had two dramatic threes to extend The Pride's game at Averett last week, faked and drew the defender of his feet. He then moved left and calmly made the shot.
The Bishop's Bradley Blue fired a shot from the top of the key that would've tied the game, but it rimmed out.
Dshamal Schoetz had 11 points and 11 rebounds and recorded his second straight double-double for GC. Blue scored a game-high 18 points for NCWC and Keith Sudler scored 12 points and pulled down 11 rebounds for the Bishops.
