LEXINGTON, Va. – A balanced scoring attack featuring five players in double figures Sunday lifted the VMI men's basketball team to a 79-64 non-conference victory over visiting Hampton University.

Senior Myles Lewis recorded his third-straight double-double for VMI with 16 points and 11 rebounds to go with three steals. It was his fourth-straight double-digit rebounding performance. Junior Jake Stephens joined Lewis with a double-double of 11 points and a career-best 12 rebounds and added four assists, four blocked shots and two steals. Stephens now has two career double doubles and the four blocks ties a career-high.

Kamdyn Curfman nailed five three-pointers for a team-high 17 points, and Greg Parham had 15 points, four rebounds and four assists. Freshman Trey Bonham contributed 12 second-half points, five rebounds and two steals and Sean Conway had eight points and eight rebounds. Curfman tied his season-best point total and he has drilled five three-pointers five times in his career.

Davion Warren scored a game-high 20 points for Hampton (1-2) with seven boards. Marquis Godwin had 15 points and five caroms and Dajour Dickens scored 10 and blocked three shots.

VMI outrebounded the Pirates 45-33 and held a 46% (30-65) to 38% (24-63) shooting advantage from the field.

The Keydets led 44-35 at intermission and opened a 17-point advantage (57-40) early in the second half. Hampton chipped away at the deficit and trailed just 66-61 with 5:38 on the game clock. A 9-0 VMI run, fueled by four points from Bonham, put the game out of reach.   

The Keydets (4-2) host Campbellsville University Harrodsburg (Ky.) Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Quotes from VMI Head Coach Dan Earl:

"I was proud of our guys. I thought they played a good 35 minutes, but there was a stretch in the second-half from the 11-minute mark to the 7-minute mark where we got a little tight and didn't execute the way we needed to and they hit a couple of shots. But I thought it was a good response by us to continue to play good defense, continue to rebound the ball, and move it on offense."
 
"Trey Bonham (12 second half points) played a very good game and gave us a big lift and it was a very good team win."
 
"I think it was a good defensive effort and a variety of guys contributed. Myles Lewis has been good on the boards all year long and Jake Stephens had 12 rebounds today. And Sean Conway and Kamdyn Curfman chipped in and made some shots."
