W&L Women’s Basketball Edged By Guilford, 55-50

LEXINGTON, Va. -- Junior forward A.J. Robertson (Eden, N.C./Morehead) drilled a three-pointer from the left wing with 19 seconds remaining to break a 50-50 tie and propel the Guilford women's basketball team to a 55-50 win over Washington and Lee on Friday evening at the Warner Center.

The Quakers (14-5, 11-3 ODAC) bumped their 19-17 halftime lead to 41-35 on a lay-in by junior forward Jennie Keichline (Chapel Hill, N.C./East Chapel Hill) with 7:15 to play in the game. However, the Generals responded by ripping off the next 12 points to assume a 47-41 lead with 4:27 remaining. Included in the run were six points, off a three-point play and a trey, by junior forward Sarah Michaels (Norfolk, Va./Norfolk Academy).

At that point, the Quakers answered by outscoring W&L 14-3 the rest of the way. Twelve of their final 14 points came on three-pointers, including nine from Robertson.

Robertson led Guilford with 17 points on 7-for-15 shooting. Freshman guard Jennifer King (Reidsville, N.C./Rockingham County) added 16 points and six rebounds and was the only other GC player to reach double figures.

Michaels paced the Generals (3-15, 3-13 ODAC) with a game-high 24 points and five boards. Freshman guard Louisa Feve (Bethesda, Md./Winston Churchill) finished with 12 points, while sophomore guard Bethany Dannelly (Raleigh, N.C./Enloe) had 10. Senior center Austin Calhoun (Alexandria, Va./Annandale) grabbed a game- and career-high 12 rebounds.

The Generals will be in action again on Sunday when they travel to Shenandoah for a 2:00 pm contest.
