LYNCHBURG, Va. – Much like the weather outside, the Flames shooting was cold in the first half but a strong rebounding performance led to an impressive 78-52 win over Jacksonville. The win bumped the Flames win streak to 11 and proved to be the program’s 16th straight win over an ASUN opponent.

The Dolphins saw freshman Khalela Hayes score a game-high 17 points but they dropped their sixth straight game overall.
