Greensboro, NC -- The Greensboro College men's basketball fell on the road tonight to Guilford 77-56. Guilford dominated the glass, outrebounding The Pride 49-35. The Quakers shot 47.1% from the field compared to just 38.5% for GC.

“We can only go up from here,” Pride Head Coach Galuski said. “We have to go back to the drawing board. We’ve got to find out combinations and see who is going to compete for us on a daily basis. We’re going to get better. I told the guys to keep their heads up. We have to learn. Though we’ve had three tough games against three good teams.”

Rhett Bonner led Guilford with 21 points on 9-11 shooting. George Neville and Clay Henson added 14 and 12 points respectively. Tyler Sanborn dominated inside with eight points and 13 rebounds.

The Pride trailed by 13 at halftime and never was able to get within 10 in the second half. Guilford improved to 2-0 on the season; GC fell to 0-3.
