LEXINGTON, Va. -- The Washington and Lee men's basketball team evened its record at 2-2 on the season with a 56-53 win over Greensboro College on Sunday afternoon at the Warner Center.

The Generals (1-0), who led 24-22 at the half, extended their lead to 14 points (51-37) with 5:58 remaining in the game. Trailing by 10 points (51-41) with 2:38 remaining, the Pride went on a 12-3 run over the next 2:16 to cut the W&L lead to one with 22 seconds remaining.

Following a pair of missed free throws by W&L sophomore guard Michael Denbow (Louisville, Ky./St. Xavier) with 14 seconds remaining, the Pride had a chance to take the lead with two seconds left, but sophomore guard Marcellus Morgan's (Creedmoor, N.C./South Granville) jumper rimmed-out and W&L junior forward Jake McAlister (San Antonio, Texas/Alamo Heights) grabbed the rebound with one second remaining. McAlister was fouled and hit both free throws and GC sophomore forward Daron Williams (Spruce Pine, N.C./Mitchell) missed a three-pointer at the buzzer as the Generals claimed the win.

Washington and Lee was led by junior forward Scott Hettermann (Falls Church, Va./Landon), who tallied 11 points, nine rebounds and five steals. Freshman forward Holton Freeman (Asheville, N.C./Carolina Day) and McAlister each recorded 10 points.
