Men’s Basketball Wins Third Straight with Rally over Voorhees

DENMARK, S.C. – The Stillman College men's basketball team didn't lead for long, but lead when the final buzzer sounded with a 75-71 victory over the Voorhees University Tigers Thursday afternoon in Historically Black Colleges and Universities Athletic Conference action.

Stillman improved to 4-5 overall and 2-0 in HBCUAC play, while Voorhees fell to 2-10 on the season and 1-2 in the conference.

However, Stillman battled back to tie the contest at 19-19 at the 10:43 mark after a layup from Dasean Sellers. Voorhees responded and went ahead by as many as nine-points, but Stillman cut the lead to just one-point following a dunk from Allister Dixon to move the score to 39-38 at the half. 

Stillman built a four-point lead by the 18:39 mark in the half following a shot from Josh Price, but minutes later Gary Davis, Jr put Voorhees ahead 47-46 with a jumper in the paint at 16:09.
