Men's Basketball
Men's Basketball Comes Out Victorious in Senior Day Thriller
With time winding down, it was only fitting that Lamont Steward capped off his career-night with the game-winner for the Virginia Wesleyan University men's basketball team. Down 69-68, the Marlins pushed the ball up the floor and found Steward in the paint. The junior corralled the pass, finished the lay up and drew the foul, all in one swift motion. He would go on to sink the free throw and with just nine seconds left, Emory & Henry was unable to answer.
