LEXINGTON, Va. -- The Washington and Lee women's basketball team was unable to overcome its 29.6 percent shooting from the field (16-for-54) in falling, 52-44, to Hollins on Friday evening at the Warner Center.

Hollins went into the half carrying a 19-13 lead after the two teams combined to shoot 13-of-44 (.296) from the field and commit 29 turnovers.

Hollins (7-6, 4-6 ODAC) used a 17-7 run at the beginning of the second half to open up a 36-20 lead with 11:03 left to play. However, the Generals (2-11, 2-9 ODAC) hung tight and cut the lead to five (47-42) on a three-pointer by junior forward Sarah Michaels (Norfolk, Va./Norfolk Academy) with 1:04 remaining. But, that was as close as the score would get as the Generals managed only one more basket while Hollins made five free throws down the stretch.

Sophomore center Katie Parnell (Lynchburg, Va./Holy Cross) led three HU players in double figures with a game-high 17 points and nine rebounds. Senior guard Emily Ferrell (Roanoke, Va./Northside) added 13 points, while sophomore guard Brandi Cochran (Hillsville, Va./Carroll County) tallied 10.

Michaels paced W&L with 13 points, including 3-for-5 shooting from behind the arc, while senior center Austin Calhoun (Alexandria, Va./Annandale) added eight points and grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds.

The Generals are back on the court again tomorrow afternoon when they travel to Emory & Henry for a 4:00 pm game.
