2023-24: Bridgewater wrapped up his Carson-Newman career with appearances in 21 games and one start.  He averaged 1.7 points per game.  Bridgewater shot 38.7 percent from the field and 36.0 perent from three.  He topped out at eight points on his senior day against Mars Hill (Mar. 3) when he went 3-of-5 from the field and buried two threes.  

2022-23: Bridgewater had breakout performances in his red-shirt junior year.  He appeared in 24 games and started in five.  The Charlotte, N.C.-native averaged a career-best 5.8 points per game on 47.3 percent shooting from the field and 43.1 percent shooting from three.  He converted on 31-of-72 attempts from beyond the arc.  Bridgewater also chipped in 1.9 rebounds per game.  He led Carson-Newman in scoring twice, including a career-high outburst against Tennessee Wesleyan (Dec. 19).  The junior erupted for 30 points on 10-of-15 shooting from the field. He was 8-of-12 from deep. The eight made threes are tied for the fifth-most in a game in program history.  Bridgewater led C-N in scoring for the second time in his career and also had seven boards to boot.  The eight threes are the most in a game since Malik Abraham drilled nine in-a-row at Anderson in 2019.   That contest was one of six double-digit scoring outputs for Bridgewater on the season.  He had a career-high seven boards to boot against the Bulldogs.
