Guards Jaden Ignacio and Aimane Elbouazzaoui scored 19 and 18 points, respectively, to lead Mary Baldwin to a 98-54 non-conference men's basketball victory Tuesday over visiting Virginia University-Lynchburg.

Ignacio entered the game needing seven points to become the second player this season to reach the 1,000-point plateau for his career.  Now with 1,012 career points, Ignacio trails only classmate Quintin Hart (1,127 pts.) on the career scoring list.  

Hart and Kevin Weaver, Jr., joined the scoring parade for the Fighting Squirrels against Virginia-Lynchburg.  Hart had 14 points while Weaver had a career-high 10 scores.  Weaver also grabbed a career-high eight rebounds while Raymond Benton collected a game-high 13 caroms, helping the hosts claim a 53-28 advantage on the glass.

Virginia-Lynchburg (0-17), led by Saveon Jackson's game-high 20 points, scored the first four markers of the game before a DJ Via three started the hosts on a 22-3 run.  Elbouazzaoui knocked down three long-range shots during that surge, and the Fighting Squirrels cruised to a 52-24 halftime lead on the way to the 44-point win.  Ignacio finished 5-for-6 from three-point range while Elbouazzaoui and Hart each connected on four long-range shots.

The Fighting Squirrels (11-9) return to USA South Conference play with six games to close out the regular season, starting Saturday at William Peace (2 p.m.).  MBU's final two regular-season home games are Feb. 12 (Greensboro, 6 p.m.) and Feb. 15 (Methodist, 2 p.m.).
