Edward Waters 42, Livingstone 36

SALISBURY, North Carolina - The engine and transmission are in place at Livingstone, but the Blue Bears may need to get their brakes checked.  That was the storyline again Saturday at Alumni Stadium, where LC scored enough points to win - yet didn't.

"We're working too hard," coach Elvin James said after winless Livingstone dropped a 42-36 decision to Edward Waters. "Thirty-six points? That should be enough to win in the CIAA. But that's what happens when you dig yourself a big hole."

The hole in question was a 28-7 deficit the Blue Bears (0-3) fell into early in the second quarter. It left their defenders a long way from happy.



"We weren't settled in," defensive end Wesley Jackson said. "Our alignments weren't right. We're switching to a new scheme (under new defensive coordinator Sherman Simmons) and trying to make progress in the right direction. Once we got settled in, we played a lot better."
