Balanced shooting for Coleridge provided the winning edge as Dave Fox led the effort with 16 points. Darin Hahne pumped in 14 and Tony Gray nailed 13. Tim Hoffart and Shannon Hansen each bagged six points. Dave Fox hit 5/10 free throws, Hoffart 2/3 and Darin Hahne 2/4.
Hoffart had two steals and seven assists and Gray one steal and three assists. Shannon Hansen had one steal and two assists, Fox one steal, one assist. The Bulldog win was the first victory over Randolph since 1980 when Coleridge won 48-40.
