'Cats Squeeze Men's Hoops

LYNCHBURG, Va.  - Host Randolph College kept Shenandoah University winless on its 2009-10 men's basketball season with a 65-58 non-league victory Saturday afternoon.

The WildCats (4-0) shot 47 percent to the Hornets' 39 percent in the first half to take a lead it would not relinquish against SU (0-3).

RC led by five, 33-28, at the break as Shenandoah compounded its shooting woes by turning the ball over 11 times and making just two of eight attempts from behind the three-point arc.

The second half didn't bring any relief - Randolph expanded its lead to 12 points by the 14:48 mark and the Hornets never got closer than five points the rest of the way.

Trailing by 13, 58-45, with just over two minutes remaining, Shenandoah went to a full court press in an attempt to get back in it. The press produced the next four points of the game, but RC got a Caleb Pearson layup at the 1:31 mark and SU never seriously threatened again.

Senior Chris Schrader paced the visitors with a co-game-high 17 points while Kevin Kline added six points and five boards despite playing most of the game in foul trouble.  Lenzie Adams had 14 points off the bench.

Jason Rutschman led three 'Cats in double figures with 17 points.

RC shot 39 percent (23 for 39) for the game; Shenandoah grabbed 42 of the 78 game's rebounds.

The Hornets are on the road Tuesday night at Marymount. The non-league tilt tips-off at 7 p.m.
