"This group has worked so hard the past three weeks, and to see their effort and commitment payoff is great for the program.
"We kept fighting and never let them get away from us. The last 13 minutes, we owned the floor. It was wonderful to watch the team come together as a whole unit. Our schedule does not get any easier, and the team will have to continue to work hard in practice."
Southern State is now 1-9 for the season. Their next home game is on Saturday, Jan. 3 at 1 p.m.
