Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
On Nov. 5, 2003, Cedarville University of the NAIA came into the Nutter Center and overcame a 10-point halftime deficit to stun Wright State in its season-opener, 68-66.
It was Paul Biancardi’s first game as the Raiders’ coach.
Yikes!
When coach Scott Nagy took over in 2016, his first game was against the Yellow Jackets, albeit in an exhibition. Top assistant Clint Sargent was the scheduler then, and he admits to having had some trepidation going into that night.
“I knew one of our coaches had their first game against Cedarville and lost. And I’m sitting there having scheduled that game, feeling like, man, what did I do?” Sargent said with a chuckle.
No worries. The Raiders made Nagy’s unofficial debut an enjoyable one, winning 88-62.
