 For the second consecutive season, Bethune-Cookman found itself on the losing end of a bout with Purdue Fort Wayne as they fell, 91-69, Tuesday night at Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. 

Bethune-Cookman (0-3) fell behind early as Deangelo Elisee's free throws made it 17-9, PFW, through the first seven minutes. The Mastodons (2-1) made it a 13-point lead with eight to play in the half on a fast break layup from Rasheed Bello. 

Gianni Hunt brought the Cats back with back-to-back buckets, capitalizing on a Mastodons turnover to pull to within 24-19. A tip-in by Daniel Rouzan off a Brayon Freeman layup made it a one-point game, and a Kalil Camara three ball a minute later made it 26-all with five to go before the break.

B-CU's first - and last - lead of the night came on a Jesus Carralero Martin layup off a Gianni Hunt pick-and-roll that made it 28-26, B-CU. 

Five free throws in the final four minutes until halftime made it 37-30, Mastodons as the two squads hit the break. 

Five points in the first 45 seconds of the second half made it a two-point game once again before Bwllo and Maximus Nelson traded threes to put the Mastodons up 10 once again. 

The free-throw-laden contest saw Purdue Fort Wayne sink nine of ten second-half shots from the charity stripe as the game's pace ground to a halt in the dying minutes of play. The Mastodons made 17-21 free throws on the night to 6-9 for B-CU. 

Eric Mulder capped off the win with a made tip-in with 45 seconds to play to close the book, on a 91-69 win for the Mastodons. 



South Carolina State is 2-1 on the season, with wins over NAIA opponents Morris College and Voorhees. The Bulldogs' lone loss came against South Carolina, 86-84.
