LEXINGTON, Va. -- Junior forward Sarah Michaels (Norfolk, Va./Norfolk Academy) and freshman guard Louisa Feve (Bethesda, Md./Winston Churchill) each recorded double-doubles to lift the Washington and Lee women's basketball team to its first home victory of the season, 44-38, over Randolph-Macon Woman's College on Wednesday evening in the Warner Center. Michaels finished with a game-high 19 points and 10 rebounds, while Feve had 15 points and grabbed 10 boards.

The Generals (3-14, 3-12 ODAC) overcame their 26.4 percent shooting from the field (14-for-53) by forcing the WildCats (3-14, 1-12 ODAC) into 30 turnovers.

W&L, which opened up a 28-15 lead at the half, allowed R-MWC to get within five (41-36) with 1:21 to play on a layup by freshman forward Meghan Stensrud (Fairfax, Va./Fairfax). However, the WildCats failed to threaten the rest of the way as the Generals converted their free throws down the stretch.

Michaels' double-double was her second of the season, while Feve's represented the first of her career as well as a career-high in rebounds. No other W&L player scored more than four points.

The WildCats were paced by sophomore forward Amanda Workman's (Renick, W.Va./Greenbrier) 11 points. Freshman guard Becky Johnsen (Fredericksburg, Va./Stafford) added nine points, while Stensrud finished with seven.

The Generals take the floor again on Friday evening when they host Guilford at 7:00 pm in the first matchup between the two teams this season.
