Eagles soar past Sandhills in return from break

RALEIGH, NC — Wake Tech Men's Basketball returned from holiday break in style with a 102-72 win over Sandhills at home. Sandhills entered the game as the #3-ranked NJCAA DIII team in the country. The Eagles improve to 8-9 on the season and conclude the non-conference portion of their schedule as winners of three straight. 

The game was tied 39-39, but it was all Eagles in the second half.
