ANDERSON, S.C. – Pfeiffer survived a furious Anderson University rally in the first 11 minutes of the second half then pulled away for a 97-83 victory in a Conference Carolinas game Saturday afternoon.

Pfeiffer, 20-5 and 15-3, led 45-26 at the half and scored the opening basket of the second half to increase its lead to 21 points. From that point, Anderson went on a 33-13 run to cut the Pfeiffer lead to 60-59 with 9:39 remaining.

But then the Falcons took off again, hitting the Trojans with a 20-4 run that included four 3-point goals to increase their lead back to 17 – 80-63 – with 6:29 to play. Anderson got no closer than 10 points the rest of the way.

The biggest stat of the game was turnovers. Anderson, 11-15 and 9-10, committed 30 turnovers, 22 in the first half, that led to 31 points for Pfeiffer.
