WASINGTON, DC - Eric Pugh's lay up as time expired sent Randolph-Macon to a 49-47 victory over defending Patriot League Champion American University in Men's Basketball Exhibition action on Tuesday night in Washington, D.C.

With the score tied at 47-all, American had the ball with the chance to pull ahead but Nick Hendra's three point shot fell short and Pugh came down with the rebound. Pugh was able to go coast-to-coast, ending with Pugh laying the ball into the net as time expired.

American led 45-43 with a 1:22 to go in the game after Stephen Lumpkins' three-point play. Danny Jones pulled R-MC back to a tie with a pair shots from the charity stripe with just over a minute to play.

Pugh led R-MC with 11 points, while David Carlson had seven points in the victory. Kevin Voelkel led the Jackets with six rebounds.
