BRIDGEWATER, Va. — Guilford College used a 17-2 run late in the first half to open up a 21-point lead and the Quakers led by at least 10 points the rest of the game en route to a 78-65 victory Saturday over the Bridgewater College Eagles.

The Quakers led 28-22 with 6:24 remaining in the first half when a layup by Thomas Burge started the decisive run. A 3-pointer by Caleb Kimbrough pushed the lead to 11 before a layup by BC’s Kevin Nmah cut the margin to nine points, 33-24.

Guilford scored the next 12 points, starting with a 3-pointer by Burge. A short jumper by Eric Belkoski and another 3-pointer, this one by Jordan Snipes pushed the margin t0 41-24. A layup by Snipes and two free throws by Ben Strong gave the Quakers their biggest lead of the game, 45-24. Clay Michael then hit a jumper for the Eagles, making the halftime score 46-26.

A three-point play by the Eagles’ Michael Oblitey pulled the hosts to within 10 points, 61-51, with 7:03 remaining, but the Quakers answered with a five-point spurt and coasted the rest of the way.

Ben Strong led a balanced Quekers attack with game-highs of 20 points and 12 rebounds. Snipes finished with 16 points followed by Burge with 13 and Kimbrough with 10.
