North Carolina A&T Controls Every Quarter in 80-32 Win Over Guilford
By Megan McCarthy
GREENSBORO, North Carolina — North Carolina A&T delivered a dominant performance Friday, defeating Guilford 80-32 at Corbett Sports Center and winning all four quarters on the way to a 48-point victory.
The Aggies set the tone early, scoring 23 points in the first quarter while limiting Guilford to 10. They kept control in the second, adding 22 points and holding the Division III visitors to nine. By halftime, A&T had built a 45-19 lead.
The separation continued after the break. North Carolina A&T outscored Guilford 19-6 in the third quarter, stretching its advantage before closing with a 16-7 fourth. Guilford never won a quarter, and the final margin stood at 48 points.
The team shooting numbers reflected the difference in offensive production. A&T made 29 of 73 attempts from the field, while Guilford finished 12-of-44. The Aggies’ scoring came through consistent quarter-by-quarter production rather than a single reported individual performance.
ESPN listed Guilford’s S. Glover as the game’s top performer for the visitors, with six points.
The win moved North Carolina A&T to 2-2. Guilford, a Division III program facing a Division I opponent, came away from the trip with a 32-point total.
A&T’s control was evident from the opening quarter through the final horn: a 13-point edge after one, a 26-point halftime lead, and a steady expansion across the second half. The Aggies did not surrender a quarter and finished with an 80-point performance at home.
