It was an ultimate team win for the underogs and it took two clutch free-throws from junior Jeremy Mahaffey (Riverdale, Ga.) with three seconds left to seal the 73-72 victory. <br /><br />Point (8-17, 4-7 AAC), struggled early in the year but they were able to pull together to hand Shorter University (21-1) their first loss of their season. Shorter, who received all 12 first place votes in the latest NAIA division I men's basketball poll, defeated the Skyhawks earlier in the season by a total of 19 points. text/html 2012-02-02T08:56:38-06:00 http://www.aacsports.com/ Jennifer Harrison http://www.aacsports.com/article/1568.php <p><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; fareast-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; ansi-language: EN-US; fareast-language: EN-US; bidi-language: AR-SA">The 2012 NAIA Men's Tennis Coaches' Preseason Top 25 Poll was announced on Tuesday by the national office and Tennessee Wesleyan found themselves among those top 25. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; fareast-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; ansi-language: EN-US; fareast-language: EN-US; bidi-language: AR-SA">The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences/independents/unaffiliated groupings.&nbsp;</span>&nbsp; The Bulldogs are ranked at number 21, which is the same spot they were in at the end of the 2011 season.<br /> </span><p><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; fareast-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; ansi-language: EN-US; fareast-language: EN-US; bidi-language: AR-SA">Tennessee Wesleyan is ranked second, right behind Xavier, &nbsp;in the Unaffiliated group of schools from the AAC, GCAC, and TranSouth Conferences.&nbsp; Xavier (La.) is ranked 9th in the NAIA Top 25 poll.<br /></span><p><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; fareast-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; ansi-language: EN-US; fareast-language: EN-US; bidi-language: AR-SA">Tennessee Wesleyan received its highest ranking in the poll in 2010 when the Bulldogs were ranked at number 16, and made a trip to the NAIA National Tournament in Mobile, AL.&nbsp; </span></p></p></p> text/html 2012-01-31T21:39:17-06:00 http://www.aacsports.com/ David Pickett http://www.aacsports.com/article/1567.php <span style="font-weight: bold;">ASHEVILLE -</span> Milligan (Tn.) welcomes Reinhardt (Ga.)
