LEXINGTON, Va. -- Guilford hit 32-for-61 (52.5%) from the field, including 10-for-20 (50.0%) from three-point range to subdue Washington and Lee, 85-56, on Sunday afternoon at the Warner Center.
Trailing by as much as 16 points in the first half, the Generals (9-16, 6-14) went on a 13-4 run in final 5:49 before the break to pull to within 37-30 of the Quakers (16-8, 14-6).
Following halftime, senior forward Sarah Michaels (Norfolk, Va./Norfolk Academy) hit her third three-pointer of the day to pull W&L within 37-33, but the home team would get no closer as Guilford steadily pushed its lead out to doulble digits and as many as 31 points before the end of the contest.
Michaels co-led the Generals with 16 points and drained a trio of three-pointers to become W&L's all-time leader for three-pointers in a career (92). Sophomore guard Louisa Feve (Bethesda, Md./Winston Churchill) also scored 16 points, while freshman forward Jessica Hunsinger (Mayer, Ariz./The Orme School) reached double-digits with 10 points. Freshman guard Sarah Otey (Williamsburg, Va./Hampton-Roads) scored eight points and dished out a game-high six assists.
Senior forward Jennie Keichline (Chapel Hill, N.C./East Chapel Hill) led the Quakers with a game-high 25 points and a game-high 10 rebounds. Sophomore guard Jennifer King (Reidsville, N.C./Rockingham County) hit 4-for-4 from three-point range for 21 points and senior guard A.J. Robertson (Eden, N.C./Morehead) rounded out the Quakers' double-digit scorers with 14 points.
Washington and Lee returns to action on Thursday when the eighth-seeded Generals take on top-seeded Eastern Mennonite in the first round of the ODAC Tournament. Game time is 12:30 p.m.
