ASHLAND, Va. — A first-half run by Randolph-Macon College proved to be the difference as the Yellow Jackets snapped Averett's two-game winning streak with a 78-67 victory over the Cougars on Monday night.

Randolph-Macon (7-3) held a 15-14 lead over Averett (3-7) early on, but the Yellow Jackets rattled off a 16-4 run in less than a three-minute span to pad its lead, which grew to 14 before the Cougars closed the gap to 37-27 by halftime.

In the second half, Averett nearly matched Randolph-Macon point-for-point. Yet, it wasn't enough to overcome the deficit from the first period.

Junior Justin Pierce led Averett with a double-double of 15 points and a career-high 11 rebounds. Sophomores Paul Porter and Jeremy Ruffin added 13 points and 11 points respectively.

Lamar Giggetts led Randolph-Macon with a game-high 21 points, as well as seven rebounds.

Averett will look to rebound when it plays its third game in five days at Johnson & Wales University on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
