Amponsah, a senior from Woodbridge, Va., was named the MVP of
the Equinox Classic hosted by Haverford College. Amponsah
averaged 26.5 points to help Roanoke open the season 2-0 for the
first time since the 2007-08 campaign. He opened his senior
campaign with 19 points, four rebounds and two steals in the
Maroons 87-82 victory over Swarthmore College. He followed
that effort with a 34-point explosion in a 75-72 triumph over host
Haverford. He was 12-of-16 shooting, including 5-of-5 from
beyond the arc. He added three rebounds, four steals and one
important blocked shot in the final seconds to help clinch RC's
win. Amponsah, last year's ODAC scoring champion, is just 93
points from becoming the 34th player in Roanoke history to reach
the 1,000-point plateau.
