DUNDALK, MD – Riverhawk men's basketball falls short, 85-91, to the Lions of CCBC Dundalk Wednesday evening.  The NJCAA DII Region 20 team handed the Riverhawks their third loss this season, putting AACC at 2-3.

The midweek match-up began with a bold start for the Lions as they jumped out with a 15-5 run over the Riverhawks, and as the first twenty minutes concluded AACC was still behind, 37-30. 

Needing to turn it around, it was AACC's turn to set the pace as they flipped the switch and went on a 17-5 scoring run of their own over CCBC Dundalk, taking the lead 63-62 with eight minutes remaining.  As the up and down battle continued it was ultimately CCBC Dundalk who came out on top with the 91-85 win.
