EMORY, Va. – Alex Lubsey went a perfect 10-for-10 from the floor and 7-for-7 from the line for a game high 27 points, Tuesday night, lifting Bluefield past Emory & Henry, 99-70 at the John Rutledge King Center.
 
Lubsey helped the Rams overwhelm the Wasps inside, outscoring the hosts in the paint 28-16. Kearsten Marion added 20 in the victory, shooting 9-for-15 from the floor. Seven more Rams added at least five points on the night.
 
Bluefield shot a season-best 58.5% (38-for-65) in the win and was a perfect 16-for-16 at the charity stripe. The Rams knocked down 7-of-20 (35%) attempts from behind the arc.
 
Devin Page pulled down a game high nine rebounds, helping BC outrebound E&H, 37-30.
 
The teams kept even through the opening stages of the game, until the Rams reeled off an 8-0 run to go up 24-13. A layin from Ederson Exume started the rally, followed by a bucket from Marion then another from Exume. Kyle Grisby pushed the lead to 11 with a layin with 10:20 to play in the first.
 
But, over the next three minutes of play, the hosts answered back with a 14-2 rally to overtake BC 27-26.
 
The lead was short-lived though, with Lubsey converting a three-point play on a hoop and harm on the Rams' next possession.
