DELAND, Fla. (AP) Anthony Register scored 18 points to lead Stetson to a 69-62 victory over Atlantic Sun Conference leader Gardner-Webb Saturday night.
Borislav Djordjic added 12 points and eight rebounds for Stetson (8-11, 6-6). Will Holloman chipped in nine points and nine rebounds, and J.J. Hirst came off the bench to score 10 points.
Gardner-Webb's Chris Gash led all scorers with 20 points, while Simon Conn added 15 points and Josh Chiles had 12 points. The Bulldogs slipped to 11-7, but remain in first place with an 8-3 mark.
