LYNCHBURG, VA – The Lynchburg College men’s basketball team won its fourth-straight game Sunday, a 66-60 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) win over visiting Bridgewater College.

LC led 33-25 at the half, and was ahead 54-51 with four minutes to play. Junior guard Kwame Safo (Vienna, VA/George C.

The Eagles trimmed the edge to 62-60 with 15 seconds left, but Drew Norris (Richmond, VA/Steward School) iced the game with four-straight free throws in the closing seconds.

Echols tied for the game-high with 15 points for Lynchburg and Norris scored 13 points, eight from the charity stripe. Safo had 11 points and Evan Fancourt (Greensboro, NC/Grimsley) added nine points, five rebounds and four assists.
