Farrar Fuels Charleston’s 66-64 Comeback Victory over Elon

Farrar scored 23 points off the bench in the win

ELON, N.C. – Sophomore Nick Farrar drained a tough contested jumper with 2.0 seconds left to lift Charleston to a 66-64 road win over Elon on Saturday afternoon. Farrar finished with a career-high 23 points in a gutsy, impressive effort off the bench, fueling CofC's comeback win.
 
Elon led by as many as 11 in the second half and held a seven-point edge with 3:34 remaining, but head coach Pat Kelsey's squad stayed the course and chipped away during the final stretch. With 2:09 left, freshman Raekwon Horton buried a key 3-pointer to slice the deficit to two, then Farrar took over. The sophomore from Apex, N.C., followed a strong take down low for a bucket with a baseline jumper to surge CofC in front 62-60.
 
After the two teams traded free throws on three consecutive possessions, the game was tied at 64-64 with six seconds left, setting up the Cougars' final shot. That's when Farrar sunk the difficult game-winning shot to give Charleston its fourth win in five games.
 
The Cougars made a season-low three 3-pointers and shot just 36 percent, but Kelsey's group never wavered. CofC battled back with its dominant effort on the offensive glass coupled with tenacious defense. Charleston scored 15 second-chance points on 14 offensive rebounds and forced 20 Elon turnovers.
 
Farrar led all scorers with his 23 points. Senior John Meeks added nine points and five rebounds and freshman Raekwon Horton tallied eight points, two rebounds and two assists. Charleston's bench outscored Elon's, 36-15.
