BALTIMORE, Md. – Wednesday night the Fighting Owls traveled south for a MD JUCO matchup against the Panthers of Baltimore City. The last contest between these teams ended in a 68-71 loss for the Fighting Owls during the 2018-19 season.

Jahsiah Lamothe lead the team in points with 24, going 9-13 from the floor.
Jalyn Hickman and
Jordan Butler added to the team win with 15 points each.
