In scratching out a 64-61 win over Maryland Eastern Shore on Saturday evening at the HU Convocation Center, the Hampton University men's basketball team snapped its six-game losing streak.
The Pirates improved to 9-14 overall and 5-5 in the MEAC on the season.
Head coach Edward Joyner Jr. won his 91st career game in the process, becoming the program's all-time winningest Div. I coach – surpassing Steve Merfeld.
Guard Reginald Johnson registered his second straight 20-point game, leading all Pirate scorers with 21 points on 7-for-15 shooting. Guard/forward Dwight Meikle added 16 points and a team-high 11 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season.
Guard Deron Powers added 11 points and four assists.
The Pirates shot 44.2 percent (23-for-52) from the floor – thanks in large part to a 14-for-25 effort (56.0 percent) in the second half. Hampton scored 25 points off of 16 UMES turnovers, and Hampton held a 26-22 edge in points in the paint.
A layup from Devin Martin with 2:14 left in the game tied the contest at 58-58, before Johnson answered with 1:11 left by converting an acrobatic 3-point play to put the Pirates up 61-58. Dominique Elliott cut that lead to 61-60 with a jumper with 55 seconds left.
But Meikle put his stamp on the game with 42 seconds left, finding space on the fast break before floating in the air, making it look as if he would finger-roll the ball into the hoop, before slamming the ball home with one hand to give the Pirates a 63-60 lead.
The two teams traded free throws down the stretch, but Martin missed both of his 3-pointers in the closing moments to hand the Pirates the hard-fought win.
The UMES led much of the night, though – particularly in the first half. The Hawks opened the game with six straight – thanks to back-to-back 3-pointers from Ryan Andino – before the Pirates cut the lead to 6-5 on a jumper in the paint from junior forward Jervon Pressley.
The Hawks opened the game back up, taking a 22-10 lead at the 8:37 mark after a 3-pointer from Martin. A dunk from Michael Myers and a layup from Devon Walker gave UMES a 29-16 lead with 2:39 left in the half.
But Hampton scored the last seven points of the frame – a jumper and 3-pointer from Meikle and a jumper from Powers – to cut UMES' lead to 29-23 at the break.
That momentum carried into the second half, as the Pirates cut UMES' lead to one on three separate occasions before taking their first lead of the night on a Johnson layup with 15:12 left – putting Hampton up 36-35.
Johnson then hit a trey to put the Pirates up 39-35 at the 13:32 mark.
Johnson added a layup with 13:14 remaining to give the Pirates a 41-37 lead, before UMES went on a 10-1 run to take a 47-42 lead with 10:39 left to play after a dunk from Elliott. Elliott later gave the UMES a 53-48 lead at the 6:29 mark with a free throw.
After a pair of Martin free throws gave the Hawks a 55-50 lead, the Pirates went on a 7-0 spurt, taking a 57-55 lead with 3:13 left to play after a jumper from Powers.

Eighth-grader Alexius Pierce made the go-ahead layup in the game's last minute, and junior Diamonne Harris hit four straight free throws in the final 10 seconds as the Syracuse Academy of Science held off Allegany-Limestone, 55-50, in a Class C girls basketball state semifinal at Hudson Valley Community College.
The Section III-champion Atoms (20-4) will play in the 8-year-old program's first state final at 4 p.m. Saturday against Section IX champion Millbrook.
"It feels unbelievable," said Harris, who led all scorers with 20 points. "We worked so hard - day after day - it was all worth it. It feels so good."
"We just willed our way (to the win), said senior leader Lyrik Jackson, who scored 14 points, grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals for the Atoms. "Coach said keep pushing. We didn't want to go home."
SAS, which trailed by six points at the half (32-26) sparked its second-half offense with a pressing defense that forced Allegany-Limestone into 22 turnovers and yielded a dozen steals.
The #SASAtoms also held Gators' star senior center Morgan Davis to 14 points, about five below her season's average. Morgan only had six in the second half.
"Amazing. Just amazing," said #SASCS head coach Reggie Pickard. "I'm still kind of dreaming - like are we here or not, you know? We're doing everything possible to win a championship. We've worked hard for eight years, and here we are."
The Atoms trailed by as many as eight points late in the second quarter but caught the Gators just two minutes into the third using a press that started paying off in turnovers.
"Our pressure has been the key for us all year," Pickard said. "We force turnovers, make the game kind of ugly.
I thought if we pressured a little more in the second half it would harder for them to get the ball to their bigs."
Allegany-Limestone, from Section VI near Olean, still led by two at the start of the fourth quarter, but SAS sophomore Xyel Bradford's 3-pointer put the Atoms ahead, 41-40, with just under 7 minutes left. Pierce hit another huge three with 2:30 left to play that gave SAS a 47-46 advantage.
But the Gators continued to make big baskets, too, and Allegany-Limestone had a 50-49 lead, and the ball, with just under a minute left to play.
On the in-bounds play, Harris dove for a steal and somehow got the ball to Pierce, who drove in for what would turn out to be the winning points, making it 51-50, Atoms.
The Gators began fouling, but Harris proved worthy against the pressure, hitting two sets for free throws in the final eight seconds.
"It was very nerve-wracking, but we do this all of the time in practice," she said. "I have to stay calm."
Allegany-Limestone coach Frank Martin said his team just couldn't quite hold it together in the final minutes against the SAS quickness.
"I'd love to have the last minute and a half back," he said. "We weren't as good as we needed to be to close this game out. We just weren't as good as we needed to be at the end."
The Atoms had a scare in the final seconds when Jackson took a shot to her head when she went down chasing a loose ball and an Allegany-Limestone player fell on top of her. She had to be helped off the court but was up and talking in the aftermath.
Harris said she hoped to go swimming in the hotel pool later in the day, but her coach wasn't hearing it.
No, no. We're not going to do any swimming," he said, laughing. "Too much muscle movement. They got mad at me last night because I took their phones from them. I'm doing that again tonight, too."

These Women are the unsong heros of the Viet Nam War!
I took her picture at the Welcome home parade in LA in 1986
During the Vietnam War, Red Cross workers provide services to U.S. military personnel and assist Vietnamese refugees (1962-1974) In 1962, the American Red Cross sent its first paid field staff to Vietnam to assist the growing number of servicemen at various bases and hospitals. At the height of its involvement in 1968, 480 field directors, hospital personnel, and recreation assistants served throughout Southeast Asia. Red Cross workers, who provided 1.9 million services to U.S. military personnel, shared the hardships and privations of war with the soldiers. Five Red Cross staff members gave their lives, and many others were injured as they helped servicemen resolve personal problems or get home when emergency leave was granted due to death or serious illness in their immediate family.
Bound by its charter to provide welfare services to the able-bodied troops on duty, the American Red Cross engaged in efforts to sustain the morale of the troops in Vietnam, just as it had during the Korean War and previous conflicts. In response to a request by the military, the Red Cross sent teams of young female college graduates to Southeast Asia to conduct audience-participation recreation programs for men stationed in isolated sections of the region.
A monthly average of 280,500 servicemen took part in recreation programs at 20 major military commands. Officials estimate that the clubmobile workers, who traveled by jeep, truck, and helicopter, logged over 2,125,000 miles during the program’s 7-year history. Trained Red Cross personnel also engaged in therapeutic recreation, which was geared to patients’ individual rehabilitation needs.
In 1976, despite protests from commanding officers, the recreation program was drastically reduced in a cost-reduction action that removed professional recreation personnel from military hospitals.
