LYNCHBURG, VA – Junior guard Zack Burnett and senior forward Alex Graves combined for 48 points Wednesday night as the Lynchburg College men's basketball team sent the large crowd home happy with a 79-66 victory over Randolph College in Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) action.

Lynchburg closed the half on an 11-3 run to forge a 40-30 lead at intermission.

Burnett scored 15 of his game-high 25 in the second half, and made 10-of-16 shots from the floor with four assists and two steals. Graves hit 11 of his 18 field goal attempts and pulled down a game-high 12 rebounds. Senior guard Daniel Rowe hit all three of his three-point shots and ended with 11 points, while Lyndon White snared nine rebounds and handed out six assists. Hamilton scored seven points while Austen Arnold had six points.

Zach Desgain scored a team-high 23 points with five rebounds and three assists for Randolph (8-6/2-3 ODAC). Ryan Fields netted nine points with five rebounds and Josh Freund added seven points.

Lynchburg shot 54 percent from the floor (32-59) and held Randolph to just 38 percent (20-53) from the floor.
