Fulton, Miss. – ICC opened their season Monday with a tough battle with Volunteer State, and despite making a late run, the Indians fell 82-75.
The Indians (0-1) led by as much as 10 in the game and held a slim 38-37 at halftime, but fell behind by 11 in the second half. However, they were able to rally back and cut the lead to three, 75-71, in the final minutes on a Travonta Doolittle (Hughes, Ark.) layup.
Despite the late charge by the Indians, the Pioneers (1-1) were able to extend their lead over the final minute to pick up the win.
