SALISBURY, Md. -- Junior Davidson Hubbard (Charlotte, NC) posted game-highs and career-highs of 30 points and 14 rebounds for his seventh double-double of the season to lead Hampden-Sydney College to a 77-64 non-conference basketball road win at Salisbury University on Saturday afternoon in Salisbury, Maryland. Senior Ryan Clements (Conyers, GA) added 18 points to reach 1,000 career points and become only the 44th 1,000-point scorer in the 113-year history of the tradition-rich program. The visiting Tigers (14-4) trailed 38-34 at halftime before outscoring the host Sea Gulls (10-9) 43-26 in the second half en route to their fifth-straight win, and their 12th win in the last 13 games. Jordan Oates had 17 points and Brendan Davis added 15 points for Salisbury.

"Slow start today, but the guys turned it on in the second half and we were able to put together some stops," said fourth-year head coach Caleb Kimbrough. "Big games from Ryan and (Davidson) Hubb really helped us. Big shout out to Ryan for scoring his 1,000th-point. Such a huge accomplishment, especially considering we have had two abbreviated seasons. So proud of him for his development from year to year."

H-SC, getting votes (36) in the latest D3hoops.com Top 25, fell behind early and trailed 6-0 before a quick 9-2 run had the visitors ahead 9-8 at 16:13—getting a drive to the basket from junior Josiah Hardy (Ashburn), a three-point field goal by classmate DJ Wright (Greensboro, GA) and consecutive baskets down low from Hubbard. Salisbury continued to play well and led 20-14 after a pair of three-pointers, but the Tigers responded with a 14-7 run to lead 28-27 at 6:32, as Hubbard scored nine points, along with five points off the bench from sophomore Ayman McGowan (Memphis, TN), including a three-pointer. The Sea Gulls, however, close the half with an 11-6 run to lead 38-34 at the intermission—despite 17 first-half points by Hubbard, who had nine rebounds, as well.

H-SC scored the first points of the second half when Clements opened with a strong drive to the basket, the first of his 16 second-half points toward his career scoring milestone. A layup by Hubbard tied it at 38-38 with 19:19 remaining, but Salisbury still led 48-46 at 15:28. The Tigers took the lead for good on the ensuing possession when Hubbard connected on his second three-pointer of the half  at 15:01, starting a quick 13-2 run that had the Garnet & Grey ahead 59-50 with 9:25 left to play—Hubbard adding another three-pointer before Clements took over with seven-straight points. Following a pair of baskets by the Sea Gulls, Clements once-again scored seven-straight points—14 consecutive points for the veteran guard to push the advantage to 66-56 with 6:08 on the clock—his layup at 6:08 giving him 1,000 career points. H-SC took its largest lead of the contest at 75-60 with 2:29 remaining on a drive to the basket by Wright toward the final margin.

Hubbard led H-SC with his game-highs and career-highs of 30 points (13-16 FGs, 3-3 3FGs, 1-3 FTs) and 14 rebounds for his seventh double-double of the season. He has posted three consecutive double-doubles, averaging 22.7 points and 12.3 rebounds in his last three games, shooting 68% (30-44) from the field, including 5-9 three-pointers.

Clements finished with 18 points, adding seven rebounds, and as mentioned, became the 44th Tiger in the 113-year history of the program to reach the magical 1,000 career point plateau and the first since 2016 (Mike Murray, 1,178).

Hardy and Wright each contributed six points, with Wright adding four assists. McGowan and junior Adam Brazil (Mooresville, NC) each had five points, with Brazil adding six rebounds, four assists and a game-high three steals. H-SC shot 52% (29-56) from the field—59% (17-29) in the second half—while 40% (6-15) on three-pointers, and 77% (13-17) at the free throw line. The Tigers enjoyed a 42-22 advantage in points scored in the paint.

Oates led Salisbury with his 17 points, adding five rebounds and two blocks. Davis had 15 points, five rebounds and a game-high six assists for the Sea Gulls. Salisbury shot 43% (25-58) from the field, including 42% (11-26) on three-pointers, and 50% (3-6) at the line.
