Greensboro, N.C. -- The Lynchburg men's basketball team fell on the road in an 86-61 contest at Guilford.
Elijah Thomas led the team in scoring, finishing the night with 10 points on two-of-four shooting from the floor with one three-pointer.
Jake Hart dished out a game-high seven assists.
John Henderson finished the night with six rebounds and two blocks to go along with eight points.
After Guilford took a 13-2 lead with 15 minutes to go in the first half, the Quakers never allowed Lynchburg to cut the deficit to single figures the rest of the way.
Lynchburg struggled to contain Guilford guard Nick Farrar as he went on to score 36 points and collect 18 rebounds. Farrar shot 11-for-22 from the field and 13-of-15 from the free-throw line.
As a team, the Quakers out-rebounded the Hornets 58-35 and acquired 19 offensive rebounds. The rebounds on the offensive end led to 22 second-chance points for the Quakers. Guilford made their money from the perimeter, cashing in on 12 threes while shooting at a 34% clip.
Lynchburg will be back in action on the road this weekend as they travel to Ashland for an affair against #13 Randolph-Macon this Saturday, Feb. 1, at 2 p.m.
