USCB slowed by Tigers, fall in "River Rivalry"

BLUFFTON -- Dylan Lewis posted a team-high 15 points to go along with seven rebounds, but a cold shooting night from beyond the arc hurt the Sand Sharks as USCB dropped its first contest of the year to cross-river rival Savannah State 80-69 inside Enmarket Arena Tuesday night. 

Beaufort failed to score throughout the first five minutes of the opening half, allowing Savannah State to jump out to an 8-0 lead. Patrick Iriel's turn-around floater put the Sand Sharks on the board and over the next five minutes clawing their way back to tie the game at 12. Kevaughn Price's fast break layup put USCB up 18-17 but the Tigers battled back to recapture the lead and took an 11-point advantage into halftime. 

The Tigers stretched its lead up to as large as 20 midway through the second period and the Sand Sharks trimmed the lead back down to single-digits, but there wasn't enough time left on the clock as SSU held on for the 11-point victory. 

USCB travels back up to the Keystone State this weekend for matchups with Slippery Rock and Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Tip off with the Rock is set for 3 p.n. Saturday.
