Emory, VA -- Three WildCats hit double figures, including a 13-point 10-rebound performance from first-year forward Derrick Woods-Morrow, but it wasn't enough as Emory and Henry College outlasted Randolph College 71-66 in ODAC men's basketball action Saturday afternoon.
With the loss Randolph slips to 5-17 overall and 2-12 in ODAC play. Emory and Henry improves to 11-12 overall and 5-9 in conference play.
Emory and Henry used a balance scoring attack to take a 37-33 lead into the break. The Wasps hit five treys in the game, shooting over 48 percent (26-54) from the field in the contest. Randolph shot equally as well, converting on 41.5 percent (22-53) of their field goals and 33.3 percent (4-12) from behind the arc. Emory and Henry then outscored the WildCats 34-33 in the second stanza to escape with the tough conference victory.
Woods-Morrow recorded his eighth double-double of the season, shooting 5-8 from the field in the game. Timothy Clarke joined the WildCat attack in double figures with 12 points, five rebounds and six assists. Terell Johnson tossed in a season-high 10 points and grabbed eight rebounds. The WildCats outrebounded Emory and Henry 43-34, but 15 turnovers proved to be costly in the tightly contested conference game.
Randolph will return to the court Wednesday when the WildCats welcome cross-town rival Lynchburg College for the final home contest of the regular season. The game will mark the first annual Faculty/Staff Appreciation night for the WildCats in which each player will invite a guest who has made a positive impact on them. Gametime is 7:00 p.m.
