W&L Women’s Basketball Bows To Virginia Wesleyan, 80-61

LEXINGTON, Va. -- Senior guard Angie Cavanaugh (Charlottesville, Va./Charlottesville) scored a game-high 26 points on 7-for-11 shooting, including 5-of-8 from three-point land to lead the Virginia Wesleyan women's basketball team to an 80-61 victory over Washington and Lee on Friday evening at the Warner Center.

W&L (1-7, 1-5 ODAC) trailed 43-38 at the half after connecting on nearly 61 percent of its first-half shots (14-of-23). However, the Generals shot just 28.1 percent (9-for-32) in being outscored by 14 in the second frame.

Cavanaugh, who also had four rebounds, four assists and a game-high nine steals, was one of three Marlins (4-4, 3-3 ODAC) in double figures. Freshman center Nikki Kemp (Cheriton, Va./Norhampton) and junior forward Devin Allen (Machipongo, Va./Northampton) added 17 and 15 points, respectively.

W&L was led freshman guard Louisa Feve (Bethesda, Md./Winston Churchill) who racked up 17 points and junior forward Sarah Michaels (Norfolk, Va./Norfolk Academy) who had 16 points and five rebounds. Sophomore point guard Bethany Dannelly (Raleigh, N.C./William G. Enloe) added eight points and a team- and season-high seven assists.

W&L will be back in action tomorrow when it hosts Lynchburg for a 2:00 contest.
