LC Box Score vs. Roanoke

Brittany Dahn led the Hornets with 17 points and 18 boards Tuesday night. LYNCHBURG, VA - Sophomore forward Kylie Lucas (Verona, VA/Fort Defiance) hit two free throws with 48 seconds left to put LC ahead for good as the Hornets defeated the Maroons of Roanoke College 61-60 Tuesday in Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) action from Turner Gym

The win for LC (5-6/3-3 ODAC) marked the first time the Hornets had knocked off Roanoke since the 2003-04 season, a stretch of nine games. The loss for the Maroons was also their first of the season.

In the first stanza, the lead changed hands nine times as the home team took a 31-30 lead into the break. Junior Brittany Dahn (Richmond, VA/Deep Run) had a double-double in the first half with 11 points and 11 boards, while Dana Esposito (New Port Richey, FL/Holy Names) added 10 points.

After intermission, Lynchburg led for most of the half extending its lead up to its highest point at five after a Kristina Darby (Tampa, FL/Holy Names) jumper. The Maroons took their only lead of the second half with 1:54 left on the game clock, as a Jalessa Osborne free-throw ended a 6-0 run by RC.

The Hornets responded with an 8-0 spurt of their own, highlighted by six points from Esposito which proved too much for the Maroons. Lynchburg was led by Dahn who posted 17 points and 18 rebounds, while Esposito finished with a game-high 19 points, hitting on five of seven three-point attempts.

Darby poured in 13 points off the bench for LC, while Lucas contributed eight points and 11 rebounds. The Hornets shot 32 percent for the game (20-62), and outrebounded the Maroons 56-33, grabbing 12 more offensive caroms then RC.

The Maroons were led by Osborne and her 16 points, while Caitlyn Long nailed four threes, ending with 15 points. Sophomore center Jordan Gholson had 12 points, eight rebounds, five blocks for the visitors. RC shot 34 percent from the floor, but hit only 18 of its 33 free throw attempts (55 percent).

Lynchburg will travel to Lexington, VA Friday evening for a conference tussle with the Generals of Washington & Lee University at 7 p.m.
