Enfield, Rockville Grads Achieve Hoop Milestones at ECSU

MIAMI, FL – A pair of Eastern Connecticut State University basketball players from north-central Connecticut attained lofty plateaus just minutes apart in a recent Warrior victory.

Junior guard Tarchee Brown, a Rockville High School graduate, scored his 1,000th career point early in the second half of an 89-72 victory over Eastern University Dec. 19 at the Hoop MIA D3 Holiday Shootout in Miami. He became the 31st player in program history to reach that scoring mark.

Two minutes later, senior forward Hugh Lindo of Enfield broke the program's all-time rebounding record by grabbing his 1,037 career board, erasing the mark held for 44 years by Warrior E-Club Hall of Famer Lou Chartier.

Eastern is now 5-3, and returns to action Friday against Manhattanville College in the opening round of the Trinity College Holiday Invitational at 7 p.m.
