attack to take early<br />
season tournament<br />
Staff reports<br />
GETTYSBURG, PA – The<br />
No. 2 ranked Randolph-Macon<br />
College Men’s Basketball<br />
team turned in solid backto-back<br />
performances to<br />
sweep the Gettysburg Tip-Off<br />
Tournament.<br />
On Friday, the Yellow Jackets<br />
opened up the tournament with<br />
an 84-62 win over Shenandoah<br />
then followed that with a 56-42<br />
win over host Gettysburg on<br />
Saturday.<br />

next time.”<br />
Molly Brown was in the<br />
same boat going 2-for-7. “Her<br />
shots were not falling tonight;<br />
but normally she is a very good<br />
shooter,” LaHaye said. “She<br />
definitely has the green light<br />
when the ball is in her hands,<br />
‘cause she’s one of our better<br />
shooters and she’s not afraid to<br />
shoot, and that’s what it takes.”<br />
Maggie Roy led the Yellow<br />
Jackets on back to back nights,<br />
scoring 12 points against Mary<br />
Washington and 16 against<br />
Ferrum. Roy showed moments<br />
of offensive brilliance hitting<br />
7-of-13 field goals and 2-of-5<br />
three-pointers.<br />
Lindsay Sharman and Katie<br />
Williams added 10 each while<br />
Taylor Wieczorek pulled down<br />
six rebounds on the night.<br />
The final shooting percentages<br />
varied little from first half<br />
and from LaHaye’s standpoint,<br />
the Yellow Jackets needed to just<br />
shoot the ball. “We didn’t even<br />
take the shots that I thought we<br />
had,” she said. “I thought that<br />
our shooters stood around a<br />
little bit. We’ll work on it. The<br />
things that I saw that we can<br />
improve on, can be improved<br />
on. So, I’m pretty excited about<br />
Shooting 50 percent from the<br />
floor in their opener, Randolph-<br />
Macon featured three players in<br />
double-figures, led by 16 points<br />
from Danny Jones, (in 14 minutes<br />
of action off the bench).<br />
Calvin Croskey (13 points) and<br />
Brandon Braxton who scored<br />
12 points on 6-of-8 shooting.<br />
The Yellow Jackets got off<br />
to a good start, taking a 22-8<br />
lead midway through the first<br />
half. From there the lead continued<br />
to grow, reaching 25<br />
points when Braxton converted<br />
a layup with 17 seconds to go<br />
in the half.<br />
R-MC, which shot 69.7 per-<br />
the spirit of this group and also<br />
the potential of it.<br />
“That’s always a tough job<br />
for a coach is making sure<br />
that your shooters continue to<br />
shoot…whether they miss a<br />
basket or six baskets,” LaHaye<br />
added. “You’ve got to shoot,<br />
‘cause you always miss 100 percent<br />
of those shots you don’t<br />
take. But the kids, they want<br />
to be perfect all the time. They<br />
take a lot of pride with their<br />
academics, and they do the<br />
same thing with their basketball;<br />
and they just think that<br />
they’re supposed to play perfect<br />
all time. Sometime that<br />

room and then opened the second<br />
half with a 20-5 run in<br />

a 70-31 advantage on a threepointer<br />
by Croskey.<br />
