📈 STOCK UP

🔼  Last Second. The men’s basketball team faced USC-Upstate, and the game was so close that it came down to the final seconds to see who would win. The Pirates came up short by just two points with a final score of 83-81. RJ Felton led the team and got a new career-high with 33 points. Ezra Ausar was close behind with 24 points. Those were the only two players in the double digits. The men are now 2-1 and will face Northeastern on Sunday to start the TowneBank Holiday Classic.

🔼 Already On Top. RJ Felton has been a beast so far this season. He’s already hit a career-high and a double-double in just his first two games. Now, Felton was named to the AAC Honor Roll. Keep up with his stats here.

🤔 PIRATES TRIVIA

Vacate the Waters. The swim and dive team heads to West Virginia for three days to compete in the WVU Invitational starting tomorrow and is ready to take over the pool. The team did well last season at the invitational and looks to improve this tomorrow.
