WILMINGTON, NC - For the fourth time this season, Hoggard let a fourth quarter lead slip away as they fell 57-47 to Pender on the second day of the Leon Brogden Holiday Tournament in Wilmington. The Vikings led 40-35 heading into the final period but were outscored 22-7 over the final eight minutes. Pender was 8-8 from the floor in the fourth quarter.

Addison Spruill led Pender (6-1) with 33 points, 24 of which came in the second half.
