A Split in North Country
EC took a trip to North Country before the holiday break and came away with a 1-1 record. Elmira used 24 points from both Neil Randolph ’15 and Justin Henderson ’16 to defeat previously-unbeaten Clarkson University, 76-68 in overtime, before falling to St. Lawrence University the following day.
The Marksman
Justin Henderson ’16 put on one of the best shooting displays any Elmira College men’s basketball player has ever had against Clarkson on Friday, December 5th. Henderson made 8-of-10 from three-point range, including a perfect 7-of-7 from behind the arc in regulation. The eight made three-pointers matches the most successful threepoint attempts in a single game by an individual player in the last 14 years. That occurred last season when Josh Keys ’14 went 8-of-14 from three-point range against Morrisville State.
Randolph Settling In
Neil Randolph ’15 entered EC’s road-trip to North Country leading the team with 11.3 points per game, however, he was shooting just 30.4 percent from the field and 26.3 percent from behind the arc. In the two games against Clarkson and St. Lawrence, Randolph averaged an efficient 17.5 points per game, shooting 68.4 percent (13-of-19) from the field and 70 percent (7-of-10) from three-point range. Randolph increased his scoring average to 13.8 and his shooting percentages to 41.5 on field goals and 41.4 on three-pointers.
Henderson from Three
Justin Henderson ’16 totaled 11 three-pointers made over the weekend trip to North Country, shooting 64.7 percent from distance in the games against Clarkson and St. Lawrence. Overall, Henderson is 18-of33 from beyond the arc in 2014-15, shooting at an impressive 54.5 clip.
