Pirates Triumph in Thrilling Road Game

Wednesday night marked the Pirates' first conference road game of the season, and it was a nail-biter from start to finish. Playing on the road is always challenging, and facing a talented Tallahassee team made it even tougher. The Eagles came out strong, quickly establishing a 13-point lead, fueled by their home crowd's energy.

Despite the early deficit and the raucous atmosphere, the Pirates showed resilience. They methodically chipped away at Tallahassee's lead, eventually taking a 4-point advantage into halftime. The second half proved to be a back-and-forth battle.

Pensacola managed to extend their lead to eight points at one stage, but their struggles at the free-throw line kept the Eagles within striking distance. In the game's final moments, Tallahassee had a chance to tie it up but their shot fell short, sealing a hard-fought 74-72 victory for PSC.

Will Vasser was the standout performer, leading all scorers with 23 points. Amarion Savage contributed 19 points, while Johnathon Pierce added 13 points and showcased a stellar defensive effort while pulling down nine rebounds.

Looking ahead, the Pirates are gearing up for another tough matchup on Saturday against Northwest Florida.
