CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Joey Davenport scored 30 points to lead Samford to a 70-55 victory over Cal State Northridge in the first round of the Dr Pepper Classic Friday night.
Davenport made seven of 12 three-point shots and finished the first half with 20 points.
Northridge (2-8) made a brief run in the second half to pull to 61-50 with 4:28 to go. But the Matadors managed only five points the rest of the way.
