"Our guys definitely fought hard." Interim Head Coach Meredith Smith said. "At the end of the day though, this game was still more about the shots that we didn't make, as opposed to those that we made."
FAMU (7-11, 3-3 MEAC) would score five points within the opening minute of the second half, pushing their lead to 43-36. The Hawks, playing in front of a rowdy homecoming crowd, would show composure, tying the game at 45-45, and then again at 47-47. Gary Lee (Flint, Mich./Northwestern University) would then hit a three-pointer to give UMES a brief three point lead, 50-47. Lee would finish with a season-high 14 points.
