NORFOLK, Va. — Junior Michael Deloach (Rocky Mount, N.C.) hit a short jumper off the glass with 30 seconds remaining in the game to give Norfolk State the lead for good, and Tony Murphy (Paterson, N.J.) went 4-of-4 from the free throw line in the final 21seconds as the Spartans earned an 87-83 victory over North Carolina Central on Monday night at Echols Hall.

Murphy and Corey Lyons (Bronx, N.Y.) scored 22 points apiece to pace a season-high five players in double figures for NSU (4-8), which has won two games in a row for the first time this season. Charles Futrell led all scorers with 34 points, and Bryan Ayala added 26 for the Eagles (1-20), who lost their 15th in a row.
