OAKWOOD VISITS VOORHEES IN IMPORTANT HBCUAC DOUBLEHEADER

DENMARK, S.C. – Oakwood University will visit Voorhees University Saturday in a key HBCU Athletic Conference doubleheader inside the Leonard E. Dawson Resource Center.

The women's game tips off at 6, followed by the men's game.

Men's Preview

The Ambassadors and Tigers enter Saturday's game tied for last place in the East Division.

Oakwood is 4-22 overall and 3-13 in league play, while Voorhees is 6-18 and 3-13.
