Babson Men's Basketball Buzzer-Beater Featured on D3Hoops.com

BABSON PARK, Mass. -- For the second time in less than two weeks, a buzzer-beater by a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) school has been featured as the top story on the nationally-renowned website D3hoops.com. On Tuesday night, it was first-year Alex Rudolph (Bal Harbor, Fla.) of the Babson College men's basketball team providing the heroics, as his three-pointer from the right wing sent the Beavers past visiting Bowdoin College, 63-60.

Video of the final 18 seconds of Babson's victory can be see temporarily on the D3hoops.com homepage, as well as the site's archive of buzzer-beaters from the 2009-10 season (http://www.d3hoops.com/notables/2009/12/08/buzzer-beater-watch.html).

This was the second time in 10 days that a NEWMAC school was featured on the popular Division III basketball site. The Wheaton College women's basketball team also made front-page news on January 9 when senior Andrea Bailey banked in a 40-footer to give the Lyons a 64-63 win over WPI.
