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.

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.
