The Erskine outfit, in turning back the Christians, moved its season mark to seven wins in nine starts, one of the top records among the small college teams in the two Carolines.

Bobby Edwards, deadshot forward for Erskine, topped the Fleet's victory attack, scoring 14 of his night's total of 18 points in the final half. Joining with him in pacing the winners was Don Whitehead, who hit the hoop for 16 counters and Harvey Mize with 14 points.
