Men's Basketball Drops Season Opener to Ferrum College
November 16th, 2007
FERRUM, VA - Fourth year player Jon Godsey and first year player
Marcus Mayo each earned double figures in scoring to lead the
Panthers of Ferrum College (1-0) to an 89-49 season opener victory
over the Soaring Eagles (0-1) Friday evening in Ferrum, VA.
EC managed to start the game off earning an early offensive surge led by second year guard Bryan Mathews ’10 (Horseheads, NY -- Horseheads). Mathews nailed an early three point basket to put the Soaring Eagles up by one in the early minutes of the game.
From there EC and Ferrum battled for control of the first half. However it was not long until the Panthers seized control of not only the first half, but the entire game.
The Soaring Eagles used a combination of returning and new players in hopes to gain a late offensive spark. Second year forward Palen Andreozzi ’10 (Albany, NY -- Christian Brothers Academy) and first year guard Noah Zazulia ’11 (Palm City, FL -- Jensen Beach) led the offensive charge for the Purple and Gold notching a combined 15 points respectively.
Even with the hard fought efforts of the entire team, EC was unable to close the gap between them and Ferrum before the final horn sounded.
Men’s Basketball returns to action on Tuesday, when they head to SUNY Cortland to face the Red Dragons in non-conference game. Game time is scheduled for 6 p.m.
