CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Karl Cochran scored 18 points to lead Wofford to a 62-55 victory over The Citadel on Thursday night, its 11th consecutive victory over the Bulldogs.

A pair of 3-pointers by Cochran helped Wofford increase its lead to 55-46 with 4 minutes left, and the Bulldogs (4-16, 1-8) never got closer than four points after that.
