Rocky Mount, NC - The N.C. Wesleyan men's basketball team dropped a heartbreaker on Saturday afternoon to the Greensboro Pride inside Everett Gymnasium. Wesleyan would have four key players reach double-digits in the defeat including Omari Bolden who notched fifteen. On an afternoon where both offenses were on fire, both teams shot over 48% from the field, which is the highest combined shooting percentage in a game for the Battling Bishops this season.
