HAMPTON - Hampton University held off a late Florida A&M rally to win less comfortably than it could have Monday night. The Pirates hit enough buckets late to salvage a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference victory 69-63 at HU Convocation Center. They remain unbeaten in the league and play at South Carolina State on Saturday.

FAMU (5-10, 1-2) got 22 points from guard Leslie Robinson and 14 from reserve Lamar Twitty. The Rattlers steadily cut into Hampton's lead until finally tying it at 61 with 3:29 left on Ernest Maul's 3-pointer from the right corner.
