Villanova Routs The Mount, 91-51

The Villanova Wildcats took care of business at home, handily defeating Mount Saint Mary’s, 91-51.

The Wildcats started the game strong and never looked back. Villanova’s Justin Moore led all scorers with 27 points (6-8 3PM), while Brandon Slater set career high marks in points (17) and assists (5) while shooting 5-7 from beyond the arc.

The Mountaineers were led by Malik Jefferson’s 13 points while also getting major contributions from senior forwards Nana Opoku and Mezie Offurum tallying 11 and 9 points, respectively.

As expected, this game was never particularly close as Villanova jumped out to a 20-7 advantage just ten minutes into the first half.
