Sophomore Matt Lewis led the Dukes with 22 points while redshirt senior Stuckey Mosley added 21 and sophomore Darius Banks tallied 20, marking the first time JMU has had three players score over 20 points in a contest since the 105-99 2OT victory over Appalachian State on Nov. 22, 2017.

The Cougars hold the lead in the all-time series, 7-4, and have won the last five contests between the two programs. JMU is 2-3 when playing Charleston at home.
