Following a 34 point performance, including a 25 point second-half explosion, senior Charmaine Hairston joined an exclusive club in Lynchburg Women's Basketball history as she surpassed the 1,000 point mark and moved into ninth all-time on the scoring list. Head Coach Abby Pyzik-Smith recorded her 100th career win as a head coach with the victory on Sunday afternoon, becoming the fastest to the century mark in Women's Basketball history.

The Hornets dominated the Cougars across the board and controlled the pace of the game. Lynchburg headed into halftime with a 10 point lead but extended their lead to as much as 46 in the second half.
