BLUEFIELD, Va. — All season, the Bluefield College Rams have been looking to Byron Carpenter for their spark.

He lit the Dome Gymnasium in the second half on Tuesday night with a fiery performance, helping the Rams spring from a 45-38 halftime hole and defeat Milligan College 95-86 in an Appalachian Athletic Conference display of sharp-shooting offense.

Carpenter finished with 28 points and 10 rebounds, going 10 for 12 from the floor and making 8 of 12 foul shots.

The Rams (15-11, 7-3 AAC) made 60 percent of their field-goal tries in the second half after hitting with 40 percent accuracy in the first half. Kearston Marion provided 20 points and Andrew Wilson had 16 for Bluefield; both distributed four assists.
