Saah Nimley scored all 16 of his points in the second half as Charleston Southern defeated Presbyterian 75-64 Saturday night in a Big South Conference game.

It was the fourth consecutive victory for the Buccaneers (14-7, 8-3), who had three other players finish in double figures. Mathiang Muo scored 14 points, nine of which came on his three 3-pointers. Kelvin Martin also scored 14 points while Arlon Harper chipped in with 13.

Al'Lonzo Coleman led Presbyterian (8-13, 2-9) in scoring with 25 points. He hit 9 of 13 field goal attempts and 7 of 11 shots at the foul line. But no other Blue Hose player finished in double figures.

Charleston Southern hit 49 percent of its shots from the field (24 of 49). The Buccaneers were much hotter at the free-throw line, going 18 for 21. That included Nimley's 7 of 8 effort.
