BALTIMORE, Md. ? Michael Deloach (Rocky Mount, N.C.) scored 24 points to lead a season-high five Norfolk State players in double figures as the Spartans defeated Coppin State 87-77 on Saturday afternoon at the Coppin Center.

After losing 10 straight, the Spartans (3-10, 1-1 MEAC) have now won two in a row. They did it by recording season highs in points (87) and field-goal percentage (64 percent).

NSU led by as many as eight points in the first half. But the Eagles (2-14, 0-2), despite shooting just 29 percent from the floor in the first period, rallied by getting to the line 18 times and making 13 in the opening 20 minutes. The Eagles actually gained a lead at 33-32 on a layup by Sam Coleman, but Kevin Worsley scored a layup of his own with 48 seconds left in the half to give the Spartans a 36-34 lead at the intermission.

Preseason MEAC Player of the Year Tywain McKee hit a 3-pointer just more than a minute into the second half to give CSU a 37-36 lead, but NSU responded with its best second half of the season. Deloach and Corey Lyons scored four points each in an 8-0 run that gave NSU a 44-37 lead.

The Spartans, who shot 73 percent (19-of-26) in the second half, led by at least five points the rest of the way. McKee hit the last of his five 3-pointers with 2:26 remaining to get the Eagles within 76-70, but Lyons scored four straight to put the game out of reach.

Lyons scored 14 of his 20 points in the second half. James Williams scored a career-high 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting, including 3-of-4 from behind the arc. Kyle O’Quinn registered his first career double-double with 10 points and a career-high 12 rebounds. He also blocked three shots. Brandon Monroe added 10 points on 4-of-4 shooting, and also swatted two shots of his own.

Deloach, who was also 10-of-15 from the floor, and Pauline each handed out a season-high seven assists.

McKee scored a game-high 27 points, but shot just 6-of-18 from the floor. Coleman added 18 points and Vince Goldsberry 11.
