Box Score ARLINGTON – Roanoke College head coach Page Moir earned his 400^th career victory on Sunday afternoon as the men's basketball team defeated The College at Brockport, 83-61 in the Pablo Coto Tip-Off Tournament.  The Maroons open the 2014-15 season with a record of 1-1, while the Golden Eagles are 0-2 after two games.

Moir, who is in his 26^th season at the helm of the program picked up his 400^th career victory with today's win.  Moir is the winningest coach in the Roanoke College history and the Old Dominion Athletic Conference as well.  He entered the season with an all-time record of 399-271, with a 247-187 record in ODAC play.  Moir will reach another milestone after three wins in the ODAC this season, picking up his 250^th career ODAC victory.  Moir is now the 34^th active coach to reach 400 wins in the NCAA Division III ranks, as he is tied with Terry Butterfield of Texas Dallas (won #400 on Saturday), and Anthony Petosa of Staten Island, who ended the 2013-14 season with 400 wins.

Roanoke got off to a 5-2 lead in the first two minutes of the game as Daniels scored the first bucket and Eacho followed up with an old fashioned three-point play.  The two teams exchange the lead back and forth through a 10-10 tie.  Ramirez broke the tie with a layup at 11:50, which kicked off a 9-2 run by the Maroons that ran over the next three minutes.  With six minutes to play, the Golden Eagles had pulled back within one, 19-18, but John Fitchett hit a pair of free throws that started an 8-0 run for the Maroons, with Fitchett scoring six of the eight points.  Roanoke finished the first half with a nine point, 35-26 lead, capped off by a three pointer by Fitchett in the final seconds of the half.

Daniel Eacho opened the second half with a layup, putting the Maroons ahead by double digits, 37-26.  Clifton Lyverly tried to get the Golden Eagles, scoring the first nine points for Brockport, getting back within five, 40-35.  Fitchett put a stop to the scoring drought by the Maroons, hitting the next five points to get the Maroons back ahead by 10.  With 13:36 to play, Eacho hit a jumper to start a run for the Maroons, outscoring the Golden Eagles 18-4 through the 8:23 mark to go ahead by 24.  Roanoke was able to hold on to that large lead through the remainder of the contest, picking up the first win of the season for the Maroons, 83-61 over The College at Brockport.

Four Maroons finished in double figures, being led by John Fitchett with 21 points on the afternoon.  Fitchett hit seven field goals in the contest, including three treys.   He was also 4-6 from behind the free throw line, also with five rebounds.  Daniel Eacho was the second highest scorer for the Maroons on Sunday, scoring 15 points.  His 21 points this weekend now put him just 50 points away from joining the 1,000 point club in his career.  Each narrowly missed a double-double with nine rebounds, all defensive.  Andrew Daniels, who was named to the Pablo Coto Tip-Off Tournament Team, tallied 13 points in the game, shooting 4-9 from the field.  He finished with two rebounds, one assist and one steal.  Seth Bradley rounded out the players in double figures, netting 11 points off 4-6 shooting.  He also finished the game with five rebounds and three assists.  Julian Ramriez had seven points and seven rebounds with two assists.
