Jeremy Goode scored 21 points and Mount St. Mary’s got its first NCAA tournament victory, beating Coppin State 69-60 in an opening round game matching two teams that know a lot about losing.

The Mountaineers (19-14) won their last five games to shed their losing record and make the tournament, then got the one victory that’s always been well out of reach. In its two other NCAA appearances, Mount St. Mary’s lost to Kentucky by 46 points in 1995 and to Michigan State by 23 in 1999.

Coppin State (16-21) was the first team to qualify for the NCAA tournament with 20 losses.
