Freshman center Michael Fey’s continuing efforts to gain eligibility hit another snag Thursday when his SAT score came back at 790, just shy of the 830 he needs to gain eligibility at UCLA for the winter quarter.

Fey, who attended Harbor College in the fall, has appealed the result, requesting that his Scholastic Assessment Test be scored by hand.

He has also taken the ACT and hopes to get his score back before the quarter begins Jan. 7.
