ASHLAND, Va. – Adam Desgain scored a game-high 20 points in Randolph-Macon College's 11th straight basketball win Sunday, a 74-45 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) victory over visiting Guilford College.
The host Yellow Jackets (17-3, 10-2 ODAC), who last lost Dec. 10 at Guilford, scored the game's first 18 points before the Quakers' Josh Pittman made two free throws midway through the first half. Gabriel Lowder's three-pointer at the 9:53 mark represented the Quakers' first field goal and made the score, 18-3. Randolph-Macon led, 42-21, at halftime.
Randolph-Macon scored the first 10 points of the second half and built its lead to as many as 41. The Yellow Jackets made 30-of-59 field goals, including nine-of-18 three-pointers, and had the best shooting percentage (.508) by a Quakers' opponent this year. Desgain hit four-of-five three-pointers and also grabbed five rebounds. Calvin Croskey also went four-for-five from long range and finished with 14 points.
