(GREENSBORO, N.C.) – Jack Averna (Sr., Warrenton, Va. / Fauquier) broke the program record for goals and points scored in a single season as he led Randolph-Macon to a win in the regular season finale at Guilford on Saturday. Also passing a milestone was Andrew Tiffey (Sr., Columbia, Md. / Wilde Lake) who scored his 100th career goal in the win.

The senior scored six goals to give him 61 on the campaign to break Frank Smollon's mark of 56 scored in 1996. It also gave him 83 points to set a new mark held by Smollon's 1995 season and Jason Andrews from 2013.

In the meantime, the Yellow Jackets outscored the Quakers by 13 and secured itself a home game in the ODAC Tournament quarterfinals on Tuesday.

How It Happened

• The Lemon and Black scored early and often as they raced out to a 5-0 lead in the first six minutes to start the game. Averna's milestone came during that time as he scored his first just 1:38 into the game to tie Smollon and added his second with 9:01 to break it.
• The offense was more than just Averna, although he did have a hat trick 8:07 into the game. The Jackets scored nine goals in the opening frame with seven different players finding the back of the net.
• They did it in various fashions as well. Cooper Hauser (Fr., Charlottesville, Va. / Monticello) got on the board 21 seconds after a Kevin Andrews (Jr, Fallston, Md. / St. Paul's School) score as the Jackets raced down after a faceoff win. Tiffey capped the frame with a man-up goal as the Jackets took advantage of a Quakers penalty to make the score 9-2.
• Averna added another pair early in the second sandwiched around a second Tiffey score to put the game at 12-2 before the hosts went on a 3-0 run. The Jackets put an end to the comeback attempt with a 5-0 run to close the half and put the score 17-5 at the break.
• The second half was more balanced, but it remained under control by the Yellow Jackets. A 4-2 third quarter was highlighted by another man-up goal scored by Matt Williams (So., Richmond, Va. / Trinity Episcopal) to make the score 21-7.

Inside The Numbers

• Averna now has 83 points on the season between 61 goals and 22 assists. As of this writing he's tied for second in the ODAC and two behind the league leader Christ Martel of Bridgewater. His points mark is also second in the conference.

• Sam Averna (Sr., Warrenton, Va. / Fauquier) picked up the win between the pipes today to improve to 5-3 on the season. He made three saves. Oz Potter (So., Midlothian, Va. / Midlothian) and Harris Archer (Jr., Baldwin, Md. / St. Paul's) each spelled him for a quarter in the second half.
