DUE WEST, S.C. – The Erskine College men's basketball team (10-13, 6-9 CC) defeated North Greenville University (9-15, 5-10 CC) by a score of 67-64 at Hayes Gymnasium on Saturday afternoon.
Erskine took control of the game in the first half, leading by 13 at the break and by as many as 16 at one point in the second half, but had to withstand a late NGU run to survive away from home in a game that tremendously boosts the Fleet's chances of making the conference tournament.
