CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Tommy Funk scored 16 points, Matt Wilson and Tucker Blackwell scored 15 points apiece and Army captured the Bulldog Bash title at The Citadel with an 82-75 win over Marist on Saturday night.

Marist (1-7) quickly got back within single figures and cut the deficit to 67-63 with 7:23 to play on an Aleksander Dozic 3-pointer. But Army made 9 of 10 free throws in the last 3:14 and Wilson had a layup to secure the win.

Brian Parker had 19 points to lead the Red Foxes.
