BOWIE, Md. (AP) - Tim Washington scored 21 points and Cornelius McMurray added 13 points and 10 assists to lead Bowie State over Shepherd.

The Bulldogs (6-2) scored early and often, taking a commanding 51-26 lead into halftime. The advantage proved necessary, as the Rams (3-4) rallied back in the second half, falling well short but outscoring Bowie State, 59-47.

Hasheem Alexander, Thomas Johnson graduate, had 17 points for the Bulldogs. Stephen Moss-Kelley chipped in with 10 rebounds.

Shepherd was paced by Demond Tapscott's 23 points - including five 3-pointers - and nine boards. It was Tapscott's first game of the season after missing the fall portion of the schedule because of academic ineligibility.

It was also the Shepherd debut for Matt Slaninka, a 7-foot-4 center who transfered between semesters from Maryland. Slaninka scored two points in two minutes for the Rams.
