The Yellow Jackets proved to be a tough test for the Hornets in the first half of the conference tilt on Wednesday, holding the lead 32-29. The second half though was a very different story as the Lynchburg outscored Randolph-Macon 39-23, thanks in large part to an up tempo offense and smart defense.
