HARRISONBURG – The Rams picked up their first loss of the season at the hands of JMU 63-73 yesterday, breaking VCU’s six-game winning streak.

Krystal Vaughn (Baltimore, Md.) scored a career-high 26 points as D’Andra Moss (Atlanta, Ga.) played her third consecutive game in which she scored over 20 points, but when two teams who are on a winning streak meet, one streak must die to allow the other to continue.

Quanitra Hollingsworth (Chesapeake/Great Bridge HS) missed her first career game due to a sprained ankle.

Men’s Track and Field

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Davion Lambert (Richmond/Varina HS) vaulted into his senior season with strong success, winning the long and high jump events at the Navy Invitational Friday night.

He topped all the competitors by almost a foot, leaping 24′ 1.75″ to lead the Rams in the field events. This jump will qualify him for the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America Championships later in the season.

Lambert then cleared 6′ 6″ in the high jump for the win.

Sophomore Jason Gallo (Rochester, N.Y.) and freshman John Blyden led the Rams on the track, placing third and fourth in the 55-meter dash as Gallo finished just .01 seconds outside of IC4A qualifying time.
