Sutton scored a career-high 32 points on 10-for-15 from the field and 12-for-14 from the line in the win over Queens, while grabbing a game-high 16 rebounds and dishing out four assists. Against Mars Hill, Sutton shot 5-for-7 from the field and finished with 13 points and 13 rebounds as the Pioneers had their highest-scoring game as a South Atlantic Conference member.
