BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Virginia Tech is quickly the key to stopping opposing teams runs over the course of a game.Just simply get the ball to No. 32 and get out of his way.Zach LeDay scored 23 points to carry Virginia Tech to a 75-59 victory over Maryland-Eastern Shore on Wednesday night.Coming off the bench as he has all season, LeDay hit 7 of 10 shots from the floor and all 10 of his free throws for the Hokies (7-1), who are off to their best start since opening the 2012-13 season with a 7-0 mark.Zach is a great player, and when he gets it in the paint, hes hard to guard, Virginia Tech guard Seth Allen said.The Hokies led UMES (1-8) by as many as 27 points, but the Hawks scored on 10 of 13 possessions during one stretch in the second half and cut the lead to 54-45 on Ryan Andinos 3-pointer with 7:57 remaining.Virginia Tech got 3-point happy during that stretch, launching numerous from behind the arc and not connecting. A timeout by head coach Buzz Williams resulted in the Hokies getting the ball to LeDay, and he had the answers.LeDay converted on back-to-back 3-point plays to push the lead back into double figures, and the Hokies werent threatened again.When things are haywire, theyre going to throw the ball to Zach, and Zach wants them to throw the ball to him, Williams said. We did go too long of a stretch without him even getting a touch. We want Zach to get a touch. Hes very efficient.LeDay scored at least 20 points for the third time this season. Justin Robinson had 12 points, and Allen added 11.Andino, who hit seven 3-pointers, scored 17 of his 23 points in the second half to lead the Hawks.BIG PICTUREUMES: The Hawks will need more production from senior Bakari Copeland to be a contender for the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title this season. Copeland was averaging a team-best 14 points per game, but failed to score in the first half. He finished with nine points.Virginia Tech: Seniors LeDay and Allen, two of the Hokies top four leading scorers, both come off the bench, but the strategy is working for Virginia Tech. LeDay has scored in double figures in seven of eight games, while Allen has scored in double figures in five.STAT OF THE NIGHTAllen appears to be settling into his role as a point guard off the bench for the Hokies. He tied a career high with eight assists, which marks his third game this season with at least five assists. Last year, he only had two such games. Against the Hawks, Virginia Tech had 19 assists on 26 field goals, and for the season, the Hokies have 44 more assists than turnovers.UP NEXTUMES will play the second of six straight road games this Saturday when the Hawks travel to Orlando, Florida, to play UCF. The Hawks, who have played one home game this season, do not play at home again until Jan. 2.Virginia Tech returns to action Sunday for an important game against Ole Miss. The two teams havent met since 2008, and a win over an SEC team would help the Hokies, who have NCAA Tournament aspirations. It also might propel the Hokies into the Top 25, where they currently are receiving votes. Frank Gore Jersey . But what about the officials?

Sam Young Jersey .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again. Alex Stewart, a heavyweight contender who fought Mike Tyson and nearly beat George Foreman, has died. He was 52.Stewart died last week after being rushed to a hospital in Mount Vernon, N.Y., said Mike Gilberg, a close friend of the former fighter. He had a blood clot in his lung, Gilberg said.One day he wasnt feeling good, the next this happened, Gilberg said.Stewart fought in a golden time for heavyweight boxing, and he fought almost all the big names of his time. A perennial contender, he was never able to win the big fights of his career but had a reputation as a smart and tough fighter.Stewart lost twice to Evander Holyfield, and was knocked out in the first round of his December 1990 fight with Tyson. But it was his April 1992 fight with Foreman in Las Vegas that was the highlight of his career.Foreman was in the middle of a comeback that he would cap two years later by knocking out Michael Moorer to become the oldest man to win the heavyweight championship at the age of 45 when he met Stewart in a scheduled 10-round bout.Foreman knocked Stewart down twice in the second round and was battering him in the third, when Foreman motioned to referee Richard Steele to stop the fight. But Steele let it continue, and Stewart began pummeling Foreman around tthe ring.ddddddddddddI thought I had him in the third round but the referee let it go on, Foreman said. I didnt want to hurt the kid and now the kid hurt me.Stewart would lose a controversial majority decision, but it was Foreman who looked like loser after the fight with his face hidden behind large sunglasses.Was that a fight or was that a fight? Stewart asked reporters afterward.Stewart lost his second fight to Holyfield the next year, then spent the remainder of his career mostly as an opponent for younger fighters to measure themselves against. He retired with a record of 43-10 with 40 knockouts after losing his last fight in 1999 to Jorge Luis Gonzalez by second round knockout.Stewart was born in London and raised in Jamaica and fought for Jamaica in the 1984 Olympics before turning pro.Gilberg said after retiring from boxing Stewart was a driver for a liquor distributor in the New York City area, and later worked in a factory making boxes for the same company.Gilberg said the fighter is survived by his wife, Angella, and a daughter, Ajay-Tenille.
