THE TEAM

The Fleet allowed a season-best 66 points in the game, holding the Hawks in the 30% range from the field and the three-point line but were unable to find enough offense.

WHAT'S NEXT?
Erskine returns home for the weekend, but a tall test awaits the Fleet when conference favorites, UNC Pembroke (8-6, 5-1 CC), come to town on Saturday at 4 p.m. The Fleet gave the Braves a real test in their last visit to Due West, a 61-57 UNC Pembroke win a season ago.
