Endicott Rebounds Against Mitchell College
Dec. 3, 2005
MIDDLETOWN, CT - It was a consolation game, but that did not matter to the Endicott College men's basketball team.
Nemanja Marinkovic (Belgrade, Serbia & Montenegro/Second Baptist School, TX), Zach Ellis (Westford, MA/Westford Academy) and Matt George (Dover, NH/Dover) combined for almost half of the Gulls' scoring in an 83-60 victory over Mitchell College Saturday in the consolation round of the Inn at Middletown Inivitational.
Marinkovic (4 assists, 2 steals) and George (5 assists, 4 steals) each dropped in 14 points and Marinkovic ripped down a game-high 12 boards in making the all-tournament team. EC evened its record at 3-3 behind 46 percent shooting while Mitchell turned the ball over 23 times in falling to 0-8.
Ellis contributed 13 points, two assists and a steal, while Gary Corbett (Danbury, CT/Danbury) and Mike Sullivan (Marshfield, MA/Marshfield) each scored nine as Endicott jumped out to a 20-8 lead midway through the first and enjoyed a 41-27 cushion at intermission.
Endicott returns to action Tuesday night when it hosts Gordon College (8).
