WINCHESTER, Va. - — For the second time in as many meetings this season, Ferrum College used a last second three-pointer to defeat Shenandoah University in USA South Conference men's basketball action.


It Keith Harris' turn Saturday afternoon, as he drained a three-ball from the left wing to give the Panthers a 67-66 victory over the host Hornets.


In the first meeting of the season, it was Rob Fuller who hit a trey with .8 seconds left to give FC (6-17, 2-8 USA South) a 58-55 win.


Saturday, it appeared that SU (9-12, 1-8) would even the season series when they took a four-point lead on a http://www.su.edu/athletics/mb/players.cfm?rid=489"> color="#CC0000" size="1"> Jeremiah Lawrence stick-back of a http://www.su.edu/athletics/mb/players.cfm?rid=842"> color="#CC0000" size="1"> Mike Nickens-Turner missed free throw with 17 seconds remaining.


But Ferrum had other plans.


Cedric Jones brought the Panthers within one with his old fashioned three-point play at the six second mark, and after http://www.su.edu/athletics/mb/players.cfm?rid=845"> color="#CC0000" size="1"> Antwon Townsend hit one of two free throws two seconds later, the stage was set for the comeback victory.


After a pair of time-outs, FC threw the ball three-quarter court where they immediately called time-out. Following one more time-out, the Panthers in-bounded to Harris, who calmly drained his three for the game-winning points.


SU answered with its own time-out with one second left, but could not get off of shot on the in-bounds play.


Fuller led all scorers with 25 points while Lawrence continued his strong season with 23 points and 14 rebounds. He now has a league-leading 11 double-doubles.
