ST. LOUIS – Jordan Goodwin posted a double-double of 17 points and 13 rebounds to lead Saint Louis to a 55-39 victory over Fordham Sunday afternoon in an Atlantic 10 Conference clash at Chaifetz Arena.
Â
The win improves the Billikens' record to 15-5 overall and 4-3 in A-10 play. Fordham dips to 7-12 overall and 1-6 in the league.
Â
The 39 points by Fordham were the second-fewest given up by the Billikens in an A-10 game. SLU yielded 38 points to George Washington in 2007-08.
Â
Goodwin's 17 points, a game high, came on 8-of-13 shooting from the field. Five of his 13 boards were on the offensive glass.
Â
Tay Weaver scored in double figures for second straight game and finished with 13 points.
Javonte Perkins scored 10 points for the Billikens.
Â
Yuri Collins dished out six assists and is now tied with Kwamain Mitchell for the most assists by a freshman in school history (113).
Â
The Billikens opened up a 13-0 run and never trailed in the game. SLU led 32-16 at halftime.
Â
Fordham never got its deficit to less than 10 the rest of the way and the Billikens cruised to the victory, snapping a two-game losing skid heading into an important road trip in Philadelphia next week.
Â
The Billikens face La Salle on Wednesday, Jan. 29 (7 p.m. on ESPN+) and Saint Joseph's on Saturday, Feb. 1 (5:30 p.m. on NBCSN).
