ANDERSON— The Anderson men’s team went on a 12-1 run early in the second half which was key in a 83-70 win over Tusculum at Abney Athletic Center Saturday afternoon.
Anderson shot 56% from the field and Sam Perez knocked down 24 points. The five-game winning streak is the Trojans longest since the 2019-2020 season. Anderson trailed until late in the first half when the game’s only lead change took place; after that the Trojans pulled away.
Anderson’s (10-5, 6-5) next major test will come against the conference leader Lenoir-Rhyne on Wednesday.
