Both teams picked up their shooting in the second half, as each shot 55.6% from the field. PC out rebounded the Sharkheads on the night 40-36 including sophomore center Preston Davis (Charlotte, NC) who came off the bench to pull down four rebounds.

Joining Rayford for  PC scoring honors was sophomore center Rod Isom (Anderson, SC) who tallied 17 points and seven rebounds. Sophomore forward Curtis Stamps (Marion, SC) added eight points and a team-high nine rebounds.

For the Sharkheads, former PC standout Brian Franklin scored 11 points, while Cochcroft finished with 15 points and former Marshall University standout Barry Kincaid added 16 points on four-of-nine shooting from three-point land.
