Junior Danny Pippen came off the bench to score 16 points and pull down four rebounds. Sophomore Anthony Roberts had 13 with five assists while Senior Phillip Whittington added 12.
“Its hard at this point of the season to get a win, so this was big tonight.” Golden Flashes head coach Rob Senderoff said.

The home team then expanded its advantage to nine points following a driving layup by Roberts and went into halftime with a 38-31 lead.
