WINCHESTER, Va. – Dominique Henderson made all six three-point shots and scored a career-high 22 points in Guilford College's 91-60 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) men's basketball win at Shenandoah University Saturday afternoon.  Henderson, a junior swingman, tied the school record for three-point percentage in a game, set by Eric Belkoski '08 February 7, 2007, with his six three-pointers against Hampden-Sydney College.

Henderson made all five first-half trifectas and had 17 points by halftime, which opened an insurmountable 48-24 Guilford lead. Led by Henderson's hot hand, the Quakers (12-8, 7-4 ODAC) shot 57.6 percent from the floor in the first half and 53.5% for the game. Guilford' defense hassled the Hornets (4-17, 1-11 ODAC) into 11 first-half turnovers and 34.7 field-goal shooting for the game. Shenandoah committed 17 turnovers in the game, which led to 27 Quakers' points.

Guilford's Alston Thompson made all six field goals and four-of-six free throws for 16 points off the bench. Fellow reserve Trever Hyatt (11 points) was a perfect five-for-five shooting from the floor, including a three-pointer. Will Freeman chipped in 10 points and Trevor Mayo added nine for the Quakers, who got 49 points off the bench, compared to 15 for the Hornets' reserves. Guilford's Carson Long had a game-best six rebounds and Zachary Houston dished out a game-high seven assists.

Shenandoah's Malcolm Clark led all scorers with 23 points and Antwan Pittman added 17. The remaining 13 Hornets who played combined for just 20 points.
