Potsdam, NY - A three-pointer by Elson Pickering (Brooklyn, NY) near the end of regulation sent the Clarkson University Men's Basketball team to overtime with the University of Rochester, and a pair of free throws in the final minute by Felix Llanos (Queens, NY) sealed the 66-63 victory, the Golden Knights first against Rochester since the 1982-83 season.

The Golden Knights improved to 5-2 overall, picking up their first win on the road in the 2009-10 season. Rochester fell to 7-2 with the loss. Clarkson returns to action on Wednesday when the team hosts Cortland State.

Clarkson struggled in the first half, shooting just 7-for-24 from the floor, and the Knights found themselves trailing by 10 at halftime. The Knights crawled back into the contest, tying the game midway through the second half, and then taking their first lead with just under five minutes remaining. After Rochester's Mike Labanowski made a three-pointer with less than three minutes to go, both offenses stalled, combining to miss five shots. Following a missed lay up and a pair of timeouts, Pickering nailed a 3-pointer with seven seconds to go, tying the score up at 61-61.

The two teams combined to shoot just 2-for-12 from the field in overtime, but the Knights added three free throws in the extra session to its lone field goal to outscore the Jackets 5-2 in the final five minutes.

Senior guard Brandon Linton (Queens, NY) scored 15 points to lead the Golden Knights and Pickering produced 13 points. Senior Keith Murray (Queens, NY) and Llanos each added 12 points.

Rochester's Bill Serle scored a game-high 21 points.
