Elmira, NY -- The Elmira College men's basketball team (3-4) had their three game win streak snapped this afternoon by the Golden Knights of Clarkson University (5-2), 75-54.  Prior to the start of today's game, Elmira recognized Josh Keys '14 for recording 200 career three pointers, becoming just the second player in Elmira College history to do so.   

Neil Randolph '15 led the Soaring Eagles with 20 points, the fourth straight game he has registered 20 or more points and the fifth consecutive game he has led the team in scoring.  Keys knocked down two three-pointers in today's contest, upping his career total to 209 as he finished with nine points while Derrick Vogel '14 chipped in with seven points and four rebounds. 

In first half, the lead changed hands four times and for most of the half, neither team led by more than five points.  However, Clarkson would close out the first half on a 10-4 run, which would give them a 35-26 lead entering the break, their largest lead of the half.

Clarkson opened the second half by holding Elmira to just six points in the first eight minutes of play, outscoring the Soaring Eagles 16-6 during that time.  The Golden Knights' second half run would prove to be the difference as Clarkson marched away from Speidel Gymnasium with a 75-54 win. 

Today's game marked the final contest of 2013 for the Soaring Eagles.  Elmira will be back in action in the New Year when EC opens Empire 8 Conference play on the road against the Golden Flyers of Nazareth College on Friday, January 3rd.  Tip-off is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. in Rochester, NY.
