Clay Henson scored a game-high 29 points in Guilford's College's 103-60 Old Dominion Athletic Conference men's basketball victory over visiting Lynchburg College. The Quakers' fifth straight win marked the 100th victory with head coach Tom Palombo on their bench and the 200th in Palombo's 11-plus seasons as a men's basketball coach.

Henson hit for 15 first-half points and helped the Quakers (9-2, 2-0 ODAC) break open a contest that was tied at 21 midway through the period. Freshman Gabriel Lowder scored nine points and Henson added seven during a decisive 27-6 run over a seven-and-a-half minute stretch. Guilford made better than 54 percent of its field goals in the first half and forced 10 Hornets' turnovers that led to 15 Quakers' points. K.C. Mendez scored 10 of his team-high 17 points in the first half, but Lynchburg (3-10, 1-3 ODAC) leading scorers Mason Wooldridge and Steven Echols combined for only four points in 19 foul-plagued minutes.

Guilford picked right up where it left off in the second half, shooting better than 57 percent from the floor, including six-of-11 from three-point land. Tyler Sanborn scored 11 of his 16 points in the second half for the Quakers.

Palombo, a two-time ODAC Coach of the Year, improved his record in five-plus seasons as Guilford's coach to 100-49 and his overall men's basketball coaching record to 200-114. He ranks third among Guilford's career men's basketball coaching wins leaders. The Virginia Beach, Va., native also spent over seven years as a women's basketball coach and has a 338-154 overall coaching record.
