LYNCHBURG, VA – Randolph College juniorColton Hunt (Whittier, NC/Smoky Mountain)became the first-ever men's basketball player at the College to eclipse the 1,000-point barrier Saturday as the WildCats stunned Hampden-Sydney College 61-60 in league action from the Randolph Athletics and Dance (RAD) Center.

Hunt is the first player to surpass the barrier at Randolph since Lindsay Cross '10 accomplished the feat in her senior season. Hunt joins a group of 10 other players, all women, in the 1,000 point club at the College. Hunt accomplished the feat with 6:30 left in the first half, as he knocked down all three free-throws after being fouled on a trifecta.

As for the win, Randolph (8-11/3-7 ODAC) earned the much needed victory, much in part to the play from Derrick Woods-Morrow (Greensboro, NC/NE Guilford) . Woods-Morrow finished with game-highs of 22 points and nine rebounds, as he shot nine-of-11 from the floor.

Randolph led the Tigers (14-5/8-3 ODAC) during the early going, but the two teams exchanged the lead seven times while the game was tied over the first 10 minutes. With Hampden-Sydney leading 24-20, Randolph rattled off 11 straight points to lead by seven after a three-pointer from Cameron Colquitt (Mechanicsville, VA/Atlee) .

After the 'Cats led by six at halftime, they would build the spread up to 12 after a thunderous dunk from Woods-Morrow. The lead was still at double-figures with seven minutes to go, but H-SC slowly crept back into the ball game. Randolph led by eight at 61-53 with 5:07 left, but a layup by Ben Jessee and jumpers from Ru White and Harrison George cut the WildCat lead to one with 2 minutes to play.

Those were the final points that would be scored in the game though, as H-SC missed four shots down the stretch including a jumper by George at the buzzer to win the game as the 'Cats held on the for the win.

Woods-Morrow now sits seven points short of 1,000 for his career, as the big man will have his next opportunity to get to that mark Wednesday at Washington & Lee University. Zach Desgain (Richmond, VA/J.R. Tucker) continued his fine first year with the WildCats, hitting five-of-six from the field and three-of-four from downtown for 13 points.

Hunt finished with seven points, but dished out four assists and had five steals. The WildCat defense forced Hampden-Sydney into its worst shooting performance of the season, as the Tigers hit on only 41.1 percent (23-56) from the field. H-SC is the top-shooting team in the country, hitting at 51.8 percent for the season.

Hampden-Sydney was paced by the 10 points from George, as he finished four-of-10 from the floor. White had nine points, Keegan Wetzel had six points and a team-high five rebounds and Greg Lewis had eight points off the bench for H-SC. The game was fairly clean, with only 22 total free throws being attempted.

The victory snapped a seven-game ODAC losing skid for the WildCats, and Randolph is now 3-0 against the Tigers all-time in its own building.

Randolph will travel to take on the Generals Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Lexington, VA in more ODAC play from the Warner Center.
