PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) -- Quincy Douby had 16 points and led a rare balanced scoring attack by Rutgers in an 88-57 win over Fairleigh Dickinson Wednesday night.
Rutgers (5-3) had four players in double figures and three first-year players post career highs as it extended its winning streak to a season-high three games. The Scarlet Knights beat FDU (4-7) for the eighth time in nine meetings.
Ollie Bailey had 15 for Rutgers on 7-for-10 shooting, while freshman Manny Quezada scored 13, all in the second half. Quezada, who shot 6-for-8 along with Douby, entered the game with five points all season. Junior college transfer Jimmie Inglis (10 points, eight rebounds) and freshman Dan Waterstradt (eight points) also had career highs.
FDU, which was averaging 76.7 points per game, was held to a season-low in points and shot just 37.7 percent overall and 15 percent from 3-point range.
Gordon Klaiber led FDU with 15 points and 11 rebounds, and Andrea Crosariol added 11 points.
Holding a 23-17 advantage with 6:40 left in the first half, Rutgers scored 11 straight and went on a 16-4 run to take a 39-21 halftime lead.
FDU never got closer than the halftime score, as Rutgers gradually extended the lead after intermission. The Scarlet Knights opened their largest lead of 23 points four different times, the last coming at 87-54.
