MELBOURNE, Fla. - Elijah Jenkins hit a three with 1.6 seconds left in regulation to send the Embry-Riddle men's basketball game against Florida Tech into overtime on Wednesday night, and then the freshman hit another triple with 26 seconds to go in OT to break a tie and send the Eagles to their first road win of the season, 86-79. The Eagles (11-16, 5-14 SSC) outscored the Panthers (12-15, 7-12 SSC) 13-6 in the extra period, including a 6-for-6 effort from the charity stripe, to snap a five-game losing streak.

ERAU forced OT on Jenkins' three right before the end of regulation after the Panthers had gone up 73-70 on a pair of free throws from Antonis Pefanis with 19 seconds to play. The Ealges had three shots from deep to try and tie it, first Rudy Bibb-Boyd, then Joshua Hawkins came up short, but offensive rebounds on both shots kept the Eagles' hopes alive and Jenkins buried his fourth three of the night to tie the game at 73-73.

Jordan Majors, who finished with a game-high 32 points for FIT, made a layup to open the scoring in overtime, but Hawkins answered with a runner before Bibb-Boyd put the Eagles up 77-75 with a tough jumper in front of the Eagles' bench.

After Sam Daniel made a pair of free throws tie it, the Panthers got another Majors bucket to take a 79-77 lead, but Nashad Mackey, in the midst of his 21st double-double of the season, calmly sunk two free throws with 1:52 to play tp again knot things up.

Two straight defensive stops preceded the Jenkins three that proved to be the game-winner as he tied a season-high with 17 points on his fifth triple of the contest.

ERAU got the stop they wanted with 13 seconds to go and Mackey made two free throws before the Eagles again got a stop and Brian Johnson sealed the game with two more from the stripe, accounting for the 86-79 final.

The Eagles got off to a slow start in the first half, falling behind by as many as a dozen late in the opening period, 30-18. ERAU went on a 21-8 run over the next five minutes to take a 39-38 lead before Darius Wright hit a jumper at the buzzer to give FIT a one-point lead heading into the break.

Each team held modest leads in the second half, the Eagles by as many as seven and the hosts by as many as five, as both teams seemed to answer every run of the other, including Jenkins' three at the end to send the game to OT.

Bibb-Boyd finished with 22 points for the Eagles, playing all 45 minutes, while Mackey had 21 points, 13 rebounds and four assists and Jenkins went for 17 points and five boards. Mackey broke the ERAU single-season rebounding record with his third rebound early in the game, and now stands at 337 total for the season.

The Eagles conclude the 2017-18 season on Saturday when they host Florida Southern for a 6 p.m. tilt in the ICI Center.
