W&L Women’s Basketball Falls To Lynchburg, 62-49

LEXINGTON, Va. -- Senior center Erika Whitten's (Charlottesville, Va./Western Albemarle) double-double, which consisted of 17 points and a game-high 12 rebounds, paced the Lynchburg women's basketball team to a 62-49 win over Washington and Lee on Saturday afternoon at the Warner Center.

W&L (1-8, 1-6 ODAC), which outrebounded the Hornets by six (47-41), was unable to overcome its 16.9 percent shooting from the field (10-for-59).

Whitten also added game-highs in steals (five) and blocks (four) as Lynchburg improved to 9-3 overall, and 7-1 in ODAC-play this season.

Junior forward Sarah Michaels (Norfolk, Va./Norfolk Academy) led the Generals in scoring with a game-high 19 points. Freshman guard Louisa Feve (Bethesda, Md./Winston Churchill) added 13 points, while senior forward Elizabeth Igo (Claymont, Del./Archmere Academy) and senior center Austin Calhoun (Alexandria, Va./Albemarle) collected 11 and 10 rebounds, respectively.

The Generals hit the road next Tuesday when they travel to Hollins for a 7:00 pm game.
