The
Generals (11-13, 8-11 ODAC) jumped out to a quick 6-0 and led by as many as nine
points in the first half behind the efforts of Kristen Krouchick's 17 points,
Louisa Feve's 16 points, and Jessica Hunsinger's 15 points. The Quakers tied the
game at 22-22 with 2:30 left in the half on a three-pointer by King
before Louisa Feve answered with a three-pointer of her own with :14 seconds
remaining in the first half.
The second half saw Washington and Lee build a 10-point lead six minutes into the second half before Guilford's (10-14, 9-10 ODAC) Brittany Bumgarner's 3-pointer ignited a 26-7 run during a nine-minute stretch to overcome the deficit. The Quakers took the lead for good on a pair of free throw by Heather Koehler with seven minutes remaining.
Guilford built a nine-point lead with just over five minutes remaining only to see it cut to a single point on two occasions in the final two minutes, the last one with :57 seconds remaining on a lay-up by Feve. The Generals could come no closer the rest of the game as the Quakers converted on eight-for-eight from the free throw line in the final minute.
