Tavi Habib added 14 points and nine rebounds, Shomari Phillips scored 14 points and three rebounds. Rapuluchi Ngorka 13 points and career high 20 rebounds.
"I thought we came out and defended the way we're suppose to which allowed us to get going on the offensive end. I am proud of the way we played for 40 minutes and how we met our defensive goals" Coach Robinson mentioned.
With the win, the Pioneers are 1-0 in southern conference play and 16-3 overall. The Pioneers will be back in action Wednesday at Daytona State in a non-conference matchup.
