GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Marcellus Morgan scored a career-high 15 points to lead Greensboro past Washington and Lee, 60-52, in men's basketball action on Wednesday evening in Greensboro, N.C.
The Pride (7-13) jumped out to a 24-11 halftime lead with Phil Tinsley recording eight points in the first period.
Washington and Lee would cut the lead to two points, 31-29, with 10:34 remaining in the game after a jumper by freshman center John Saxon (Jackson, Mich./Jackson Prep), however, that was as close as the Generals would get. Greensboro then outscored W&L, 12-4, over the game's next 4:40 and took the eight-point victory.
The Generals (4-18) were led by senior guard Chad Braley (Huntington, W.Va./Paul Blazer), who tallied 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting and added four assists. Freshman center David Bode (Raleigh, N.C./Cardinal Gibbons) chipped in with 14 points in the loss.
W&L will return to action on Saturday afternoon as it hosts Eastern Mennonite on Senior Day at 4:00 pm.
