N.C. Central finishes MEAC schedule undefeated

DURHAM, North Carolina -- For a minute it looked as if the N.C A&T was primed to come back and upset rival N.C. Central.

But only for a minute.

After a 17-8 run cut the Eagles’ lead to three with 3:42 minutes remaining, N.C. Central buckled down on defense and hit tough contested shots. They won 69-58 and finished the conference undefeated with a perfect 16-0 record. The Eagles made their first trip in school history to the NCAA tournament in 2014 and are looking to repeat in 2015.

Senior forward Jordan Parks led the way for the Eagles with 21 points and 13 rebounds. He finished the game with an alley-hoop dunk and flexed his muscles for the cameras flashing in front of him.

The crowd in the sold-out arena roared.
