Charlotte’s Dishon Jackson led all scorers, making 7-of-11 shots for 14 points.

Second Half

Stone-Carrawell, a former 49er, hit a three for UVU before the under-16-minute timeout, keeping his team within striking distance at 37-30.

Physical play took over, allowing Utah Valley to continue chipping away at the lead. The Wolverines used a 9-2 lead to get within 41-39. Charlotte took a 43-39 lead into the under-eight minute timeout.
