PIKEVILLE -- Charles B. Aycock's Brandon Howard and David Williams won third-set tiebreakers at number three and four singles as the Golden Falcons defeated Wilson Fike 6-3 in non-conference action on Wednesday at home.

"We played well on the big points and that was the difference in the match," Aycock coach Luke Vail said.
