GREENSBORO, N.C. – Mike Ehilegbu scored a game-high 22 points in Randolph College’s 67-58 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) basketball win over visiting Guilford College Saturday. Ehilegbu made five-of-seven three-pointers and the WildCats (11-12, 6-8 ODAC) made all six free throws in the final minute to gain a split of the season series with the Quakers (16-7, 10-4 ODAC).
Colton Hunt scored four of his 15 points during a decisive 8-0 Randolph run midway through the second half that opened a 59-51 WildCats’ lead with 4:47 to play. After Guilford’s Jarred Hinton tied the score at 51 with 10:12 remaining in regulation, the Quakers missed their next six shots and two free throws before Josh Pittman (Archdale, N.C./Trinity) scored with 3:31 left to make it a 59-53 Randolph-lead. Pittman’s hoop was one of Guilford’s two field goals in the final 10 minutes of the game.
Pittman paced the Quakers with 20 points and became Guilford’s 31st 1,000-point scorer in the second half. He is one of 21 Quakers to reach the milestone in his third Guilford season and ranks 31st in school history with 1,003 career points. Pittman also added a team- and season-high eight rebounds.
Guilford hosts Hampden-Sydney College Wednesday (2/15) at 7:00 p.m. in the Quakers’ annual V Foundation Game for the benefit of cancer research.
