Anderson Ends Catawba's Home Winning Streak

Catawba's 11-game home winning streak comes to an end with a 92-81 loss to Anderson

Published on Feb. 24, 2026

The Catawba Indians suffered their first home loss of the season, falling 92-81 to the Anderson Trojans in a South Atlantic Conference men's basketball matchup. Despite shooting well, Catawba couldn't slow down Anderson's hot shooting as the Trojans made 59% of their shots and over half of their 3-pointers.

Why it matters

Catawba's home court advantage at Goodman Arena had been a key factor in their success this season, as they entered the game undefeated at home. The loss ends that streak and is a setback in Catawba's pursuit of the South Atlantic Conference regular season title, which Anderson is currently leading.

The details

Anderson led by just 5 points at halftime, but pulled away in the second half, leading by as many as 17 points. Rashawn Inglemon scored 27 points to lead the Trojans, who shot an impressive 59% from the field and made over half of their 3-point attempts. Catawba got double-digit scoring from Ibra Athie, Jordan Simpson, Carson Daniel, and Jashaun Hawkins, but couldn't get enough stops defensively to mount a comeback.
