Morgan State upsets Coppin State, 91-80, on Eagles' senior night

BALTIMORE, Maryland - To say that the 2011-12 season has been a frustrating one for the Morgan State Bears would be an understatement. On Wednesday night at Coppin State's Physical Education Complex, it looked to be more of the same.

This time, though, the Bears (7-18, 4-9) didn't fold, pulling off a 91-80 upset of the host Eagles (13-14, 8-6) in a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference game.

Aric Brooks (St. Frances) led the Bears with 19 points, while Tony Gallo scored 21 to lead Coppin State.

"We fought through so much adversity this year," Bears coach Todd Bozeman said. "I talked about it all year with them. It's not just the winning and losing, but the life experiences they are going through. I'm happy for them, and I got a little emotional. This was a team effort, what I've been preaching all year."
