November 26, 2007-In the second best defensive effort of the David Moe era, the #23 Emporia State Hornets defeated Ottawa University Braves 77-43 on Monday night in White Auditorium. Ottawa did not reach double figures until the 7:29 mark in the first half and were held to .271 shooting for the game. Meanwhile the Hornets shot an even .500 from the field for the game.
