PHILADELPHIA (AP)—Freshman Miles Cartwright scored all 18 of his points in the first half and Jack Eggleston had a double-double to lead Pennsylvania to a 69-64 win over Davidson on Saturday night in the season opener for both teams.

Eggleston finished with 11 points and 11 rebounds, plus four blocks.
Cartwright, who also had three steals, came in for Zack Rosen, who had foul trouble in the first half, but still finished with 15 points. Cartwright missed much of the second half with a cramp.
