Early on, the men looked as rusty as might be expected after not playing for 17 days before extending their winning streak to a season-best four games.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444\">The teams played a back-and-forth first half until the host Hornets ended the period on a 13-6 streak to lead 41-34 at the break. Eastern Mennonite shot just 36 percent over the opening 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444\">That trend changed quickly in the second.\u00a0<strong><a style=\"color: #0079c2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/mbkb\/2014-15\/bios\/crump_marcel_tgr8\">Marcel Crump<\/a><\/strong>(Richmond, Va.\/Highland Springs) hit back-to-back three pointers to give EMU the lead, and center\u00a0<strong><a style=\"color: #0079c2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/mbkb\/2014-15\/bios\/falk_david_kirb\">David Falk<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Madison, Va.\/Madison County) converted a three point play to cap a 14-0 run which put the men in front 53-45. Crump had 10 points during the game-changing stretch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444\">The Royals then heated up from outside, as\u00a0<strong><a style=\"color: #0079c2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/mbkb\/2014-15\/bios\/jones_jerome_082v\">Jerome Jones<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Charles Town, W.V.\/Washington) nailed back-to-back triples to push the edge to 63-50.\u00a0 Eastern Mennonite led by as many as 15 before Shenandoah started their comeback over the final five minutes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444\">A 12-1 run sliced the lead to 75-71 with 1:57 to play.\u00a0<strong><a style=\"color: #0079c2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/mbkb\/2014-15\/bios\/yates_ryan_wwom\">Ryan Yates<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Alexandria, Va.\/T.C. Williams) had a big answer, however, as his layup changed the momentum and put the edge back at six points. That took the air out of SU&#8217;s sails and the Royals closed on a 6-2 run, including four free throws, to earn the 10-point win.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444\">EMU out-shot their hosts 43-to-38 percent, and also shot a season-best 10-19 for 53 percent from three point range. The men grabbed 23 offensive rebounds en route to a 56-36 domination of the glass.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444\">Yates led a balanced attack with 18 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. Crump finished with 16 counters. Falk had 13 points and a season-high 18 boards. Jones hit four triples and charted 14 points.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444\">Jared Carithers led the Hornets with 23 points while Malcolm Clark added 18 points, seven rebounds, six steals and four assists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444\">Eastern Mennonite improves to 9-3 on the season, including 2-1 in the ODAC, while Shenandoah slides to 1-11 and 0-3. The Royals return home on Saturday for their first game in Yoder Arena since Dec. 16. They host surprising Lynchburg College at 7 p.m. At 8-4, LC hasn&#8217;t lost a game by more than four points this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EMU&#8217;s Runnin&#8217;
