VIRGINIA BEACH. - Danny Jones' bucket with 0.4 seconds remaining propelled No. 17 Randolph-Macon to a 64-62 ODAC road victory over No. 5 Virginia Wesleyan.

With R-MC up 62-60, the Marlins' Stephen Fields knocked down a mid-range jumper to tie the game.

The Jackets then took a timeout with seven seconds on the clock.  Off the inbounds, Eric Pugh broke a double team and was able to feed Jones and drop in the winning bucket.

R-MC improves to 19-4 overall and 10-4 in the ODAC. VWC falls to 20-3 and 11-3 in the league.  It is Randolph-Macon's first win at VWC since the 2003-04 season and marks the fourth ranked opponent R-MC has beaten this season.

Jones' final basket was two of his team-best 13 on the afternoon.   Jordan Brown also had 13 points, while Brandon Braxton added 10 as well.   Jones led R-MC with eight points to help R-MC to a 39-34 edge on the glass. 

VWC was paced by 23 points by  Fields and 14 points from Donald Vaughan. Vaughan also had a game-high nine boards and six blocks on the day.

Randolph-Macon jumped out to a nine point first half lead when Matt Blumel drained a jumper, making the score 22-13 with just over seven minutes to play.

VWC then went on a 14-5 run, tying the game at 27 all when Fields knocked down a three-pointer with 3:11 to go. 

The remainder of the half saw four lead changes with the Marlins holding a slim 33-32 advantage when the buzzer sounded.

The second-half was much of the same with neither team being able to open up more than a four point lead, while the second stanza featured five ties and five lead changes as well.

With the score tied at 50-50 at the midway point, back to back buckets by Jones and Browon gave the Yellow Jackets a four point lead with 9:06 to play.

A Fields trifecta on VWC's ensuing possession brought the Marlins back within one, before Jones extended the R-MC advantage with a three-point play on the other end of the court.

Fields and Brown then each made a pair of free-throws for their respective teams, making the score 59-55 with 5:44 to play.

A three-pointer by Chris Astorga cut the Jackets to lead to one.  After Brown made one-of-two at the charity stripe, Astorga converted another jumper to tie the game at 60-60 with 2:16 to play. 

The Marlins forced a defensive stop on R-MC's next possession, and then had three shots to take the lead  on its ensuing possession, but the Yellow Jackets got the ball and Jones put Randolph-Macon up 62-60 with 43 seconds left.

Randolph-Macon will be back in action on Monday when it hosts Lynchburg at 7:00 p.m.
