MADISON, N.J. (Jan. 18, 2017) – Five Rangers scored in double-figures as the Drew University men's basketball team scored a 69-64 victory at Elizabethtown College in a Landmark Conference tilt on Wednesday evening.

Top Performers
• Junior guard Yonathan Napoleon and senior guard Joey Feinberg each scored 11 points, while junior forward Chatham Studer, sophomore guard Darius Reiter and freshman guardRiley Collins all added 10.
• Six Rangers scored at least six points in the balanced attack, with sophomore guard Dan Roibal chipping in eight and sophomore Nate Aldrich netting six to go with a game-high nine rebounds.
 
Turning Point: On a key possession with less than two minutes, Napoleon hit a decisive three-pointer as the shot clock nearly expired on the Rangers. His trey gave the Rangers a seven-point cushion with 1:23 in the second half. The Jays hit a shot down low, but it was too late as Drew was able to hang on for the 69-64 win.
 
Highlights
• Drew led 13-6 out of the gate through the first four minutes, hitting three early three-pointers. Reiter hit a pair and Napoleon drilled another. A dry spell from the field allowed Elizabethtown to close the gap and eventually take the lead.
• Napoleon extended the lead back to seven on the first shot of the second half, but a 6-0 run from the Blue Jays made it just a one-point game.
• The game remained no more than a two-possession affair until Collins drained a three to put Drew back up 66-58 with 3:30 left. E-town hit back-to-back layups for Elizabethtown that closed the gap to just four.
