Last Time Out
The Soaring Eagles dropped a pair of Empire 8 Conference games over the weekend to St. John Fisher College and Nazareth College. EC trailed St. John Fisher by just eight points with 5:47 to play, but the Cardinals used a 7-0 run to put the game out of reach. Then, on Saturday, Elmira trailed Nazareth by three points with less than 10 seconds left in regulation, but a three-pointer from Justin Henderson ’16 sent the game into overtime. The Soaring Eagles and Golden Flyers played a total of three overtimes, with Nazareth eventually escaping with a 95-93 victory after Henderson’s game-winning three-point attempt rattled in-and-out at the buzzer.
Triple-Overtime Thriller
EC and Nazareth played an extra 15 minutes to determine a winner Saturday afternoon. With three overtimes, this is the longest game in Elmira College men’s basketball history and only the third game in program history that exceeded one overtime period. EC is now 0-3 alltime in games that have multiple overtime periods. The last time the Soaring Eagles played a game that featured more than one overtime was in the 1991-92 season.
Welcome to the Club!
Neil Randolph ’15 became the latest Elmira College men’s basketball player to reach 1,000 career points on Friday against St. John Fisher College. He needed just three points to join the 1,000-point club entering last Friday night’s game and accomplished the feat with his first shot of the contest. Randolph is the 16th player in EC men’s basketball history to record 1,000 career points and the second in as many seasons.
