Men's Basketball Falls to Lynchburg in Battle of ODAC Hornets

LYNCHBURG, Va. - The Shenandoah University men's basketball team fell to the University of Lynchburg, 78-65, on Saturday afternoon on the road in an ODAC game.

A 44-31 lead at halftime for LYN (9-5, 4-1 ODAC) was the difference in the game as each team scored 34 points in the second half. Dorian Davis and Ellis Wright each scored a team-high 22 points for SU (7-6, 0-4) in the game.

RECAP

Wright capitalized to score the first five points of the game for Shenandoah, giving them an early advantage. Five points from Matthew Simmons ensured a 14-11 lead for SU just over four minutes into the game.

Lynchburg went on a 12-4 run to regain a lead, but an assist and block by Landon Russ helped SU tie the game at 23, as Joseph Bladwin hit a three-pointer and a jumper. However, roughly two minutes later, Lynchburg was back in front, this time with a double-digit lead. Lynchburg's defense held SU to only three points across the final five minutes of the first half.

In the second half, LYN's lead didn't fall below 13 points, despite Shenandoah making seven three-pointers in the half.
