CHARLESTON, W. Va. - Senior Brian Moultrie notched a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Armstrong Atlantic State men's basketball team to an 81-57 victory over Lock Haven in the first day of the University of Charleston (W. Va.) Subway Classic.

The Pirates (2-0) played well defensively against the Bald Eagles (1-3), holding Lock Haven to just 31 percent shooting from the floor, 2-of-20 from three-point range and recording 13 steals on the night.
