It was an evening to celebrate at Campbellsville University Harrodsburg as Chris Rawlins scored his one thousandth collegiate point in a Pioneers victory. 

Rawlins came to the Pioneers in 2020 after two seasons at Miami - University - Hamilton (Ohio). 

His 100th point came in the second half, as the Pioneers began an early second half run. Kereion Douglas ran the fast break and found a trailing Rawlins for an emphatic dunk to extend the lead. 

The Pioneers struggled to find their defensive rhythm in the opening moments of the game, but shooting from Mason Blair would help CU Harrodsburg take the lead. CU Harrodsburg would find another spark in the closing minutes of the first half from Shadarno Clarke. Clarke gave the Pioneers 8 points in the final moments of the half to help CU Harrodsburg finish the half. 

It was all CU Harrodsburg in the second half, as the Pioneers would build a double digit lead in the early moments of the half. Ohio Christian would not trail long however, going on a run to eventually tie the game with just over two minutes remaining in the game. 

The Pioneers would go on an adrenaline packed run over the next 30 seconds, as Chris Rawlins would get a momentum dunk off an offensive rebound, followed by steals and dunks by Antoine Darby and Kereion Douglas to extend a 67-60 lead. 

CU Harrodsburg would come away with a 75-65 victory behind 21 points from Mason Blair and a near triple double from Tyron Duncan's 15 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists.
