BALANCED SCORING LEADS ECSU PAST LINCOLN 73-47

Feb. 8, 2011

ELIZABETH CITY, NC- Elizabeth City State University jumped out to an early lead and never looked back and the Vikings coasted to a 73-47 win over Lincoln University of Pennsylvania Tuesday evening at the RL Vaughan Center.

Poor shooting doomed the Lions from the onset, most significantly a 0-9 performance from downtown in the first half. The Lions went 0-14 on the night from three-point range, the third time this season the ECSU defense held their opponent without a three.

ECSU was + 12 in rebounding 44-32 for the game and opened the game up with four first half three-pointers. The Viking bench outscored the Lion reserves 20-8 and ECSU placed three starters in double figures. Rondy Tucker netted game high 17 points while Omar Jones and Deon Rice chipped in with 12 and 11 points, respectively.

Terron Jones had a team high 15 points for the Lions who fall to 2-18 on the season. ECSU (13-8, CIAA 7-6) will host Bowie State University, Thursday at 7:30pm at the RL Vaughan Center. For more information on ECSU Athletics, visit www.ecsuvikings.com.
