Washington, DC--Coppin State shot 86 percent from the free throw line in the second half and held off Howard, 83-77 in a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference men's game at Burr Gymnasium.

Ellis led all scorers with 28, while Gallo chipped in with 23, 12 coming in the second half.  Wiens and reserve Michael Harper each scored 9 points.

It marked the second straight game that Andrews has tallied 25 for the Bison.  He added 7 rebounds and a season-high 6 assists.
