Pilots hold strong at No. 8 in the NAIA

January 25, 2006

Shreveport, LA---The LSUS Pilots were 2-0 last which included an 82-66 win over the Tougaloo College Bulldogs, and a 81-79 win against the No.14 University of Mobile Rams on the road at the buzzer which improved their overall record to 17-2, and 4-1 in the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference.

Despite the 2-0 record last week, the Pilots remained at the No. 8 spot in the latest NAIA national polls that were released Wednesday afternoon.

The Pilots however could not complete the two game sweep of Mobile based teams as the Pilots dropped a double-overtime thriller against the Spring Hill College Badgers Monday night to fall to 17-3 overall, and 4-2 in the GCAC.

The Pilots will return home to The Dock Saturday night when they will take on the William Carey College Crusaders. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00pm.
