The Virginia Union Panthers secured a crucial win Saturday going on the road to defeat the CIAA North-leading Virginia State Trojans 77-69 in the Freedom Classic.

The loss for the Trojans hands them their first conference loss of the season dropping them to 5-1 (12-5 overall) in CIAA play.

In addition to this being Virginia Union’s sixth straight win over Virginia State, the Panthers move within a game of the Trojans in the division, improving to 4-2 in the conference and 14-4 overall.

This was a wire-to-wire win for Virginia Union as they led by as many as 18 points in the game. Virginia State was unable to recover from a fast start by the Panthers who got out to an 11-point lead within the first seven minutes of the game.

Final.
