CHARLESTON, S.C.- The Citadel Basketball team completed an intrasquad scrimmage on Thursday afternoon at McAlister Field House, allowing fans a chance to preview the 2009-10 team. The 19th annual "Meet the Bulldogs" was highlighted by a 46-24 victory in favor of the White squad.

"Tonight we showed that we have made a lot of progress," said head coach Ed Conroy. "Our guys showed a great effort with a lot of different lineups that were on the court. We have things to work on to continue this progress, but the positive attitude of our players will make this season successful."

Senior center Joe Wolfinger, a 7-foot-0 transfer from Washington, scored a game-high 12 points for the White team. Cameron Wells, who was named to the Southern Conference Preseason Team, added 11 points and two steals. Wolfinger hit 4-for-9 from the field, grabbed seven rebounds and blocked two shots. Wells converted 4-of-8 shots, 1-of-2 from beyond the arc. The highlight of the game was a Bryan Streeter rebound dunk, drawing cheers from onlookers.

Mike Groselle and Nathan Conley led the Blue squad with six points apiece. Groselle hit 3-for-7 from the field to go along with four boards. Conley, a freshman guard, hit a pair of three-pointers in the contest. 

The season tips off with an exhibition game against Georgia Southwestern State on Sunday, Nov. 8. The regular season opener will follow on Nov. 13 when The Citadel hosts Kenyon College (Ohio). The Bulldogs then welcome Charleston Southern back to McAlister Field House where they defeated the Bucs for the second consecutive time last season.
