LAURINBURG, N.C. -- St. Andrews Presbyterian College rallied from a five-point deficit in the third overtime to beat Anderson College 94-87 in a CVAC game Saturday afternoon. The Knights, 7-5 overall and 1-4 in the CVAC, trailed 83-78 with 3:16 remaining in the third overtime after a 3-point goal by Anderson's Chris Poore. A field goal by Ronald Bowers gave Anderson an 85-82 lead with 2:14 remaining, but from that point, the Trojans would score just one more basket. Two free throws by Mike Smith cut the Anderson lead to 85-84 with 1:54 remaining, and the Knights took the lead for good on two free throws by Bobby Short with 1:41 left.

The loss drops Anderson to 5-7, 3-3. The three-overtime game is the longest game the Trojans have played since joining NCAA Division II in 1999. Anderson led 24-23 at the half. But the Trojans need some heroics from Odin Palacio to send the game to the first overtime.

After two free throws by Taiwon Grooms tied the game at 69 with 24 seconds remaining in the first overtime, the Trojans had a shot to win the game, but Poore's jumper with two seconds remaining bounced away. In the second overtime, Grooms made two free throws with 1:15 left to give the Knights a 76-73 lead, but Poore drained a 3-pointer with 41 seconds remaining to tie the game at 76. Anderson also had the last shot in the second overtime, but J.R. Howell could not connect on a 3-point attempt. Eichelberger and Smith led the Knights with 19 points apiece. Grooms finished with 17 points. Eichelberger also was St. Andrews' leading rebounder with 12.
