Cape Fear vs Fayetteville Tech
Cape Fear loses 84-71

The game started off close, but Fayetteville Tech pulled away after the first few minutes, holding a strong lead moving into halftime and a near 20-point lead early in the second half. Cape Fear managed to cut the deficit to 9 points with 6 minutes left, but the Trojans continually answered with big shots to maintain their control.
AuMauri Tillman went hot for a solid 3-point streak towards the end of the game to close the score gap and help the Sea Devils contend.
