    Hampton coach Margo LaBrie was shocked looking at the damage East Butler did offensively in the fourth quarter.

    Despite losing a 13-point fourth quarter lead, Hampton made a few big plays down the stretch to pick up a 58-57 win over the Tigers Friday, its second win of the week. 
    Hampton’s Achilles’ heel all night long was finding a solution to East Butler’s full-court pressure.
