Lucero finished with 22 points on the night, leaving him just 10 points shy of surpasses Radford's school record.

"Scoring 1000 points is something special and I'm grateful to have the opportunity," Lucero said.

I have put a lot of work into this game and it has given me so much back in return. This is definitely a great accomplishment for me. I can only hope and work to make sure my future holds more accomplishments like it."

UAV gradually grew their lead in the first half before going up by double-digits with five minutes to go in the half and never looked back as the Keelhaulers struggled to score outside of Lucero.
