However, a challenging road stretch followed, resulting in five consecutive losses between November 11 and November 25, including defeats to St. Petersburg College, USC Salkehatchie, Enterprise State, Indian River State College and Hillsborough Community College, leaving the Bobcats at 2–6 heading into their late November home matchup.
