Falcons Men’s Hoops Falls To USC Aiken at Home

RALEIGH, N.C. – Saint Augustine’s University Falcons played USC Aiken even for most of their men’s basketball matchup, but it was the first few minutes that hurt the Falcons in a 76-62 loss at Emery Gymnasium on Wednesday night. 

Dhashon Dyson (So./Chicago, IL) scored 20 points and Josh Page (Sr./Washington, DC) added 12 for the Falcons, who fell behind 15-0 in the game’s first six minutes. 

The Falcons (1-6 overall) played better from that point. They outscored the Pacers 38-31 in the second half but the first-half deficit was too much to overcome. 

Sean Tony Hauser (Jr./Charlotte, NC) contributed 11 points and Daveon Dunn (So./Raleigh, NC) had three steals, five assists, six rebounds, and one block in addition to four points. 

Preston Parks scored 20 points for the Pacers (4-3 overall).
