GREENSBORO, NC -- Callum Sears scored 17 points off the bench, but it wasn't enough for Covenant to overcome 25 turnovers and 37% shooting from the floor as the Scots fell to the Pride of Greensboro College 74-55 Tuesday night in North Carolina.  With the loss, Covenant drops to 2-12 on the year while Greensboro sees their record improve to 6-5 on the season.

Covenant's only lead of the game came at the 18:18 mark of the first half after forward Sam Bowman connected on a short jumper, giving the Scots a 4-2 advantage.  But the Pride's pressure defense came up huge later in the half as they forced 14 Scots turnovers to help Greensboro gain a 45-30 lead at the break.
