Location: Winterville, NC

Updated Record: 5-1

Score: CFCC 73, Pitt 62

In Short: After a couple of hard-fought back-to-back games, the Sea Devils finished their last matchup before Thanksgiving break with a win.

Highlights: 

The Sea Devils started the game off on their back foot as the Pitt Bulldogs took control of the tempo early on. While it took a moment for the team to get on the same page, the Sea Devils fed off of each other's energy and were able to pick up a nice lead going into the first half. It became much easier for the Sea Devils to connect offensively and defend appropriately as the overall energy rose and key players also rose to the occasion to turn things around early on.

"Going into the second half, we had some really good energy from Linwood Grandy," remarked Head Coach Mark Lane. "He was a spark off the bench."

Freshman Jikari Johnson finished the game with 22 points to help the team notch their win over Pitt. Jakob Moore (Fr.) hit his stride during last night's matchup as Coach Lane noted him as a "Monster on the glass" for the Sea Devils. Moore finished the game with 19 points and 12 rebounds.

While the Sea Devils were able to fight back and finish the month out with another road win, the CFCC Coaching Staff has high expectations for their guys as they aim to make some crucial changes moving forward.

"[We] still have to learn how to put two halves together. I think that's been our biggest uphill battle in the first 6 games of the year," remarked Coach Lane. "[But] it's always good going into a break to end on a winning note."

Up Next: The Sea Devils will return to the Schwartz Center after the Thanksgiving holiday as they take on Hosanna Bible College on Thursday, December 2nd at 6 PM.
