Columbia, MD -- Howard Community College takes down CCBC Catonsville 93-85 in a competitive matchup. Despite a strong effort from the Cardinals, Howard's sharp shooting and balanced scoring proved to be the difference.

CCBC Catonsville had a standout performance from Lance Porter, who led the team with 27 points on 11-of-17 shooting while also grabbing seven rebounds. Karris Scott added 32 points, including four three-pointers, but it wasn't enough to overcome Howard's offensive firepower. The Cardinals shot a respectable 50.8% from the field but struggled at times defensively, allowing Howard to convert 62.5% of their shots, including 52.9% from beyond the arc.

Howard was led by a well-rounded scoring effort, with Sincere Barfield contributing 25 points off the bench and Jaden Johnson adding 22. Emanuel Henriques had a strong impact, scoring 20 points and grabbing five rebounds while providing five assists. The Dragons also capitalized at the free-throw line, converting 24-of-30 attempts compared to the Cardinals' 9-of-14, a key factor in the final outcome.

Despite the loss, CCBC Catonsville showed resilience, keeping the game competitive throughout. However, turnovers and Howard's ability to capitalize on second-chance opportunities ultimately sealed the victory. The Cardinals will look to bounce back next season as they aim to tighten up their defense and continue their offensive momentum.
