clarkson scoring spree nets win over r.p.i. 106-94

 
Clarkson University's Felix LLanos scoots into the air for a successful layup against the defensive blocking attempt by Rensselaer's Cedric White (24).  Clarkson owned a 31-18 advantage in the first eight minutes, but RPI rallied back to tie the score 37-37 with 5:00 remaining. Clarkson went on another run with a strong showing from Dylan Hodownes. The freshman guard came off the bench and scored 12 points on 4-for-4 shooting from beyond the 3-point arc, helping the Knights to a seven-point edge at the half, 51-44.  Clarkson hit clutch three-pointers and free throws down the stretch to finish off the contest. Six players finished in double figures for Clarkson, as John Coleman (Potsdam, NY) came within a rebound of a double-double with 22 points and nine rebounds, shooting 11-for-13 from the field.  (Grant Sharlow photo)  Game Gallery
