Ferrum Outlasts Men's Hoops

Hornets Drop Double Overtime Contest

FERRUM, Va. - Host Ferrum College escaped with a 75-71 double overtime victory over Shenandoah University Wednesday night in ODAC men's basketball action.

The Panthers (6-7, 3-2 ODAC) erased a four-point deficit in the final 10 seconds of the first overtime before scoring the initial four points in the second OT to outlast Shenandoah (2-9, 0-3).

IN BRIEF
The Hornets forced overtime by getting a Joshua Stephen 3-pointer with nine seconds remaining to tie the game at 57-57 and then seeing Ferrum miss the front end of a one-and-one with one second left.

In the first OT, a pair of layups, the first by Richard Rogers and the second from Marcus Taylor, gave SU a 61-57 advantage halfway through the five-minute session.

Coach Nick Doyle's club maintained that advantage until Ferrum got a jumper with seven seconds left to cut its deficit to two, and after Shenandoah missed the front end of a one-and-one, hit a floater in the lane as the buzzer sounded to send it to a second OT.

The Panthers took the lead for good by hitting one of two from the line 18 seconds into that second overtime, and then took total control with a 3-pointer at 4:13.

SU cut the deficit to two points following a Brantley Springer jumper in the lane with 2:58 remaining, but Ferrum extended its next three possessions with offensive rebounds and got a bucket and a free throw out of those extra chances to pull away.

Shenandoah's last bucket came on a Stephen '3' with 2.9 seconds remaining to make it 74-71. Ferrum hit one of two from the line after being immediately fouled to seal the victory.

Stephen led the Hornets with a career-high 23.

SU shot 40 percent (29 of 72) for the game and had 52 rebounds to the Panthers 51. Ferrum shot 33 percent (26 of 79).

UP NEXT
The men return home on Saturday for a 2 p.m. ODAC contest versus Hampden-Sydney.
