Nashville, Tenn -- Lynchburg wrapped up its regular season non-conference schedule with a 76-56 loss to Marietta at the Music City Classic.
The two squads went back and forth from the tip in the early stages of the game. However, at the midway point of the first half, Marietta slowly began to pull away. Once the Pioneers gained a hold of the lead, they never let Lynchburg retake the advantage.
The Hornets struggled shooting from the floor in this contest, going 36.2% from the field, 16.7% from three, and 50% from the charity stripe. This resulted in Lynchburg scoring their second-fewest points in a game this season.
Three Hornets finished the contest in double-figures,
Jake Hart (11),
Michael Gray (10), and
John Henderson (10). Gray has now scored 10+ points in the last four games for the Hornets.
For the Pioneers, Frank Waganfeald led the charge with a 15-point double-double. De'Ovion Price also flirted with a double-double of his own, recording 10 points and nine assists.
Lynchburg now sits at 7-4 on the season and returns to the Hill City to ring in the new year against #7 Hampden-Sydney on Jan. 4 in Turner Gymnasium.
