Hawks next face Lions of Southland Conference Wednesday

Nov. 29, 2016

HAMMOND, Louisiana -

Maryland Eastern Shore (0-6) spent the holidays away from Princess Anne on a 13-day road trip and the Hawks are still looking for something to celebrate.

The next chance comes on Wednesday (Dec. 1), at 8 p.m. Eastern., when they face Southeastern Louisiana (4-3). The Lions' losses came at Tulane, Colorado State (67-59) and California.

The two squads do have a common opponent in Colorado State, which topped the Hawks 76-65 on Nov. 23.

The Lions have won 10 straight at home, tied for the 19th-longest streak in the country. Southeastern has not lost in the University Center since a 75-71 setback against Incarnate Word on Jan. 16.

Southeastern cut a 22-point deficit to nine, but the Lions could not get any closer at California on Sunday. Junior guard Davon Hayes had 11 points while sophomore forward Moses Greenwood added 10.

Greenwood is shooting 62.5 percent from the field, while averaging 12.4 points and 6.6 rebounds with 10 steals. Hayes is also averaging in double figures with 11.0 points and 5.4 rebounds along with 14 assists.

Sophomore guard Marlain Veal (who is just 5-foot-9 and 145 pounds) is averaging 16.9 points (sixth in the Southland) and 3.9 rebounds with team highs of 30 assists (seventh in Southland) and 11 steals.

This is the first meeting between Southeastern and Maryland Eastern Shore. The Lions are 6-1 all-time against cur- rent members of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, going 4-1 against Florida A&M and 1-0 against both Morgan State and Delaware State.

Senior Bakari Copeland (Decatur, Georgia) leads the Hawks with 13.8 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. Sophomore Ryan Andino (Ft. Lauderdale, Florida) is second on the team in scoring at 11.8 points per game and leads the team in 3-pointers with 20, while shooting 44 percent from behind the arc.

Logan McIntosh is third on the team in scoring at 11.2 ppg. and second in assists with 19 despite coming off the bench. Graduate student Derrico Peck (Atlanta, Georgia) is second on the team in rebounding at 4.7 per game.

Sophomore Dontae Caldwell (Santa Ana, California) has turned up his play lately and is averaging 5.5 points and 4.2 rebounds.
