W&L Women’s Basketball Defeated By Randolph-Macon, 74-59

LEXINGTON, Va. -- The Randolph-Macon woman's basketball team used a 12-5 run over the final 2:46 to hold off Washington and Lee, 74-59, on Thursday evening at the Warner Center.

Junior forward Sarah Michaels (Norfolk, Va./Norfolk Academy) converted two free throws to cut the Yellow Jackets' (2-5, 2-3 ODAC) advantage to 62-54 with less than three minutes to play. However, senior guard Allison King (Cary, N.C./Cary) scored five of her team-high 19 points down the stretch to put the game on ice for R-MC.

Despite shooting just 39.5 percent (27-of-74) from the field for the game, the Yellow Jackets were able to pull out the victory by forcing 25 W&L (1-4, 1-2 ODAC) turnovers and committing just eight.

To go along with her 19 points, King also added a game-high 12 rebounds and three assists. Freshman point guard Megan Silva (Glen Allen, Va./Hermitage) chipped in with 14 points, three assists and six steals.

The Generals were led by freshman guard Louisa Feve (Bethesda, Md./Winston Churchill) who scored a career- and game-high 25 points. She also had nine boards, four assists and three steals. Michaels recorded the first double-double of the season for W&L with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Sophomore point guard Bethany Dannelly (Raleigh, N.C./William G. Enloe) notched 11 points, five boards and five assists.

W&L returns to the hardwood on Saturday afternoon when it hosts Roanoke. Tip off is slated for 12:30 pm.
