DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. ? Junior Denver Cobb recorded a game-high 22 points to lead the Embry-Riddle men's basketball team to its third straight Daytona Mitsubishi Shootout title, Saturday at Embry-Riddle's ICI Center. The Eagles defeated NAIA I Carroll (Mont.) 70-62 as the Eagles won their fifth tournament title since the tournament began in 2000. Cobb, who had 20 points in Friday's win against Graceland, was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player as the Eagles improved their record to 8-0 on the year.

Tyler DeBord and Rocky Pierre joined Cobb on the All-Tournament roster. DeBord had 21 points and eight rebounds on Friday and followed with a 12-point, nine-rebound outing on Saturday, while Pierre scored 15 points and 16 points, respectively.

Carroll placed two on the All-Tournament roster in Chad Vaculin and Derek Johnson. Vaculin scored 13 points in the Fighting Saints' first round win against Brewton-Parker and scored nine against the Eagles. After posting 10 points and four boards on Friday, Johnson recorded a double-double on Saturday with 19 points and a game-high 11 rebounds.

Graceland's Mike Malat rounded out the All-Tournament honorees after putting up 31 points to lead the Yellow Jackets past Brewton-Parker in Saturday's consolation game.

The first half of play saw nine lead changes and four ties. Both teams had a five-point advantage at some point in the first frame with Cobb leading the Blue and Gold with 13 points and Johnson putting up nine points for the Fighting Saints.

Eric Henkel gave Carroll a one-point lead on a layup with 4:48 left in the first half, but that was the Fighting Saints' last field goal of the half as they scored their next six points from the charity stripe. The Eagles, on the other hand, tallied 11 points in the last 4:48 thanks to five points from Cobb, four from William Benjamin and a pair from DeBord to take a 34-30 lead into the locker room at the half.

The Eagles led by as many as 10 points with 11 minutes to go. Carroll battled hard but only managed to get within three points and the Eagles made of the best of their trips to the free throw line down the stretch, converting on all eight attempts to seal the win.

The Eagles return to action at 7 p.m. on Wednesday when they host former Florida Sun Conference rival Flagler at the ICI Center.
