NORFOLK, Va., March 9, 2018 — Malique Trent-Street scored a game-high 25 points to lead five players in double figures in a dominating 96-86 win over North Carolina A&T State in the semifinal round of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference tournament at the Scope.

Hampton never wavered in the second half and maintained a double-digit lead through most of the second half. Femi Olujobi and Aaren Emead tried desperately to rally their team, but each time NC A&T would make a run and cut the lead to single digits, the Pirates would get an answer from Trent-Street Greg Heckstall and Kalen Fisher.
