Winston-Salem, N.C. -- Shelton Carter scored 20 points and grabbed 10 boards to lead Winston-Salem in an 85-59 rout of Milligan College on Monday night.

Brian Fisher added 17 points and Andrew Jackson chipped in with 11 for the Rams (2-4), who have won two of three after dropping the season's first three contests.

Carter went 6-for-8 from beyond the arc in the win, as the Rams shot 12-for-25 from 3-point range (48 percent). The Buffaloes (1-7) shot just 4-for-21 on 3-pointers (19 percent).

Milligan trailed just 27-22 with 5:35 left before halftime, but a Fisher layup started a 9-3 run to put the Rams up by nine points at the break.

The Rams opened the second half on an 11-6 run and cruised from there.

The Rams outscored the Buffaloes 36-20 in the paint and capitalized on 20 turnovers by Milligan.
Cordero Seymour paced the Buffaloes, an NAIA school, with 16 points.
