FREDERICKSBURG, Va. -- The Mary Washington men's basketball team forced 24 Washington and Lee turnovers and committed just eight as it won, 76-50, in non-conference action on Monday evening in Fredericksburg, Va.

The 24th-ranked Eagles (11-1) used a 15-4 run over the final 6:13 of the first half to break a 16-16 deadlock and open up a 31-20 halftime advantage. In the second stanza the Eagles outscored W&L, 45-30, to coast to the victory.

In addition to their turnover advantage, the Eagles also outshot the Generals (3-6), connecting on 32-of-63 shots (50.8 percent) from the field, while W&L only hit on 20-of-55 (36.4 percent).

Freshman forward David Will (Fairfax, Va./Fairfax) led the Generals with 11 points and four rebounds. Junior forward Hamill Jones (Richmond, Va./St. Christopher's) chipped in with eight points and five boards.

Pacing the Eagles were Ian Sumers (game-high 18 points, five rebounds) and Cris Hairston (16 points, six rebounds), who combined to score 34 points and collect 11 rebounds. Hairston also distributed five assists.
