HARRISONBURG, Va. -- Dwight Wilson scored a career-high 18 points and tied his career-best with 12 rebounds to help James Madison beat Division III Bridgewater 82-59 on Monday night.
Darius Banks added 15 points and Stuckey Mosley scored 14, hitting 4 of 6 from 3-point range, for James Madison (3-0).

Banks made a layup that gave JMU the lead for good and sparked a 22-3 run over the final 6:40 of the first half to take a 42-23 lead into the break. Mosley hit two 3s during that span and the Dukes led by at least 16 the rest of the way.
Ken Stanciel led Bridgewater with 17 points and Davrion Greer scored 13.
