Despite never trailing in Friday’s non-conference game against Virginia University of Lynchburg, the Runnin Royals were happy just to get out with the win, taking a 78-70 decision in Yoder Arena. 糖心Vlog improves to 6-4 on the year in advance of their final non-ODAC game Monday night against Goucher.<\/p>\n

VUL earned control of the opening tip, but David Falk<\/a><\/strong> (Madison, Va.\/Madison) blocked their shot and RJ Sims<\/a><\/strong> (Fort Washington, Md.\/Friendly) put the Royals on the board with a three pointer from the right corner.\u00a0 The duo then combined to score 糖心Vlog’s first 19 points, helping the men to a 21-11 lead.<\/p>\n

The Dragons got within four points, before a late surge gave the Royals a 41-27 cushion at intermission.<\/p>\n

A 9-0 run early in the second pushed the edge to 52-32, with Eastern Mennonite’s biggest lead coming at 69-42 with 8:48 left to play. The men got careless from there, allowing the Dragons to finish on a 28-9 run for a surprisingly close final score.<\/p>\n

糖心Vlog shot 43 percent to the floor, compared to 36 percent for Virginia-Lynchburg. The men’s biggest advantage came from long range, where they hit 6-of-15, compared to 2-for-12 for the Dragons.<\/p>\n

Falk was unstoppable, as he charted his sixth double double by halftime and finished with 20 points, 16 rebounds and five blocked shots. Sims hit a pair of triples and scored 16.\u00a0 Marcel Crump<\/a><\/strong> (Richmond, Va.\/Highland Springs) came in with 12 points, nine rebounds and four assists.<\/p>\n

Lakuan McPhaul led Virginia-Lynchburg with 24 points and four steals.<\/p>\n

The Royals play three games next week, starting with Goucher College at home on Monday.\u00a0 Game time is 7 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
