SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Evan Hathaway scored a career-high 21 points, but Elizabethtown could not overcome 16 3-pointers by Susquehanna, dropping its regular season finale 85-64 Saturday afternoon and barely missing out on the final spot in the Landmark Conference Championships.

Hathaway and the Blue Jays (8-16, 6-10 Landmark) needed a win to secure the No. 4 seed and set up a third meeting with top-seeded Catholic. Instead, Drew, which was idle, will be the team making that trip.

Brandon Hedley hit a single-game school record 10 triples for the Crusaders (19-6, 12-4 Landmark), accounting for all of his game-high 30 points. Steven Weidlich had 18, Ryan Traub 13 and Josh Miller 10, giving SU four starters in double figures.

Though E-town fell behind by 11 just 9:22 into the game, it had numerous opportunities to dent Susquehanna's advantage.

A 3-pointer from Hathaway cut the Crusaders' lead to 23-17 at the 9:19 mark, but the home side responded with a 9-0 run, during which the Blue Jays missed six consecutive shots.

The Blue Jays trailed by 13 at the break, despite Susquehanna hitting nine of its 16 3-pointers in the half.

Phil Wenger's jumper with 6:35 to play pulled Elizabethtown back within eight, 62-54, but another run by SU, this one 11-0, ended any hopes of a comeback.

Hathaway was good on 7-of-15 shots, including 6-of-12 from beyond the arc. Though the Blue Jays finished 9-of-25 for the game from deep, they were just 3-of-11 in the first half.

Fellow seniors Tyler Simpkiss (12 points) and Joe Bodnar (11) also reached double figures in their final games wearing the blue and gray.

Wenger, who wrapped up his career with a school record 243 steals and 303 assists, had nine points, six reboudns and six helpers Saturday.

Jason Dietrich scored 10 points and grabbed eight rebounds off the pine for SU, which will open the Landmark Conference Championships next Wednesday as the No. 3 seed at No. 2 Scranton.

Saturday was a tough way to finish for seven Blue Jay seniors. E-town was primed to grab a playoff spot midway in late January following a four-game winning streak, but finished the season winless in its final seven.

Tyler Warner scored a point and pulled in two rebounds in 11 minutes. The program bids farewell to Bodnar, Hathaway, Simpkiss, Warner and Wenger, along with Lee Eckert, who missed the final four games with a lower body injury, and Will Schlosser, who was lost for the season back in the preseason.
