Riverside-Durham unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They fell 57-48 to the Orange Panthers on Saturday. The Pirates were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Panthers apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in November of 2023.
Despite the defeat, Riverside-Durham had strong showings from TJ Stokley, who dropped a double-double on ten points and 11 rebounds, and Robert Mcdonald, who went 5 for 8 en route to 19 points.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Orange to victory, but perhaps none more so than Freddy Sneed, who posted 11 points in addition to five rebounds and four steals. Another player making a difference was Kai Wade, who earned 13 points along with six rebounds and four steals.
The win made it two in a row for Orange and bumps their season record up to 2-0.
