Down by one with seven seconds remaining, the men's basketball team did what it was supposed to do on its final possession against George Mason - put the ball in the hands of its playmaker Scott Rodgers. Rodgers, normally well-adept at getting to the rim, got into the paint and it looked as though he would be able to hoist a buzzer-beating pull-up jumper to stun the Patriots and snap their 12-game home winning streak.
Marianna Uribe, Becca Drylie-Perkins and Charlotte Wood each netted three goals and the Dragons rolled to a 10-6 victory over the Eagles, fending off treacherous weather conditions Feb. 18 at Vidas Field.
