WINCHESTER, Va. - Visiting Greensboro College hit nearly every shot it attempted in a 96-73 USA South Conference men's basketball victory over Shenandoah Saturday afternoon.

Greensboro (10-5, 3-0 USA South) jumped out to an early 10-point lead and never looked back against Shenandoah (3-13, 1-2).

After Xavier Alston scored the initial bucket of the game for the Hornets 21 seconds into the contest, GC sandwiched a pair of TJ Holman free throws around two jumpers to take a lead it would not relinquish.

A 16-8 run from the 15:50 to 11:02 marks pushed the lead into double-digits for the Pride and SU was only able to cut it under 10 points on one occasion the rest of the way.

Freshman Ross Heyl drained a 3-pointer from the corner at 7:54 to make it 30-21 in favor of the visitors, but Greensboro scored the game's next 13 points to take a commanding 22-point lead.

Greensboro led 56-32 at the half, thanks to 62 percent (23 of 37) shooting from the field and a perfect 6 of 6 performance from the line.

The Pride, which led by at least 18 points the remainder of the contest, shot 17 of 33 (52 percent) after the break to coast home to the 23-point victory.

Holman led all scorers with 26 points while Brock Moorman had 16 andf Luqman Tijani 13.

Avery Green led 14, James Bowens 12 and Dominic Chappell 11 for the hosts.

GC also had a 42-26 advantage on the glass; the Pride had 24 second-chance points to the Hornets 9.

Shenandoah is back in action on Monday at 7:30 against Methodist.
