Buzzer Beater Nips Red Hawks at Home

REDDING, Calif. - Anthony Jensen nailed a desperation three-pointer as time expired Saturday to give Embry Riddle (Ariz.) a 68-67 win over Simpson at the Heritage Center. With both the shot clock and game clock winding down and the Eagles trying to get into an offensive set, Jensen's step-back launch found nothing but the net and gave ERAU its second consecutive win. The Red Hawks had :00.4 remaining to run a final play, but did not get a shot off at the basket.

The buzzer beater erased a comeback by Simpson that looked as though the Red Hawks were going to escape with a win after trailing by as many as 12 points in the second half. Jacob Kaler's runner in the lane with 1:17 remaining gave SU a 67-65 lead and capped a 25-11 run for the hosts after trailing by a dozen with 11 minutes to play.

Kaler finished with 15 points. Josh Brakkee led the Red Hawks with 16, and Marc Kirkland added 11.
