Jan. 26, 2006
HENNIKER, NH - Endicott College kept its perfect January record in tact, earning an 84-54 win over New England College Tuesday night in a Commonwealth Coast Conference game.
The Pilgrims (8-8, 3-4 CCC) made things tough on the Gulls, who improved to 11-5 overall and 8-0 in the CCC on their seventh consecutive win, in the first 10 minutes of play. That span saw four lead changes, but the visitors used a 19-5 run to open up a 12-point cushion at intermission.
Senior guard Zach Ellis (Westford, MA/Westford Academy) dropped in a game-high 23 points on 7-of-14 shooting from beyond the arc, while junior forward Nemanja Marinkovic (Belgrade, Serbia & Montenegro/Second Baptist School, TX) added a double-double (14 points, 10 rebounds) and junior forward Mike Sullivan (Marshfield, MA/Marshfield) put home 11 points and pulled down eight boards.
Ryan Jaziri (Norwich, CT) sank a team-high 15 points, Bobby Montrond (Brockton, MA) chipped in 12 points and Patrick Quinn (Holbrook, NY) finished with 10 points.
New England College is back on the hardwood next Tuesday night hosting Anna Maria College (7:30) while the Gulls travel to Springfield College Saturday afternoon (3).
