CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Josh Scovens scored a season-high 12 points on Friday to help Davidson beat Boston College 59-49 at the Shriners Children’s Charleston Classic.

Davidson (5-0) is off to its best start since it won five straight to open the 2015-16 season and the Wildcats beat an ACC opponent for the first time since Dec. 6, 2008, when Stephen Curry scored 44 points to lead the Wildcats to a 72-67 victory over then-No. 22 North Carolina State.
